^*,**

Significantly lower than Baseline Visit 1 (P<0.05, P<0.01);

^{#, ##}

Significantly different from corresponding baseline value (P< 0.05, P < 0.01).

SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; MAP =mean arterial blood pressure; HR= heart rate; RPP= rate-pressure product; CBV = coronary blood flow velocity; CVR = coronary vascular resistance. Values are mean ± SEM (N = 6).
