The effect of obesity on diurnal variation in cardiovascular indices. A: Diurnal variation in constriction to PE. B: Diurnal variation in systolic BP. C: Diurnal variation in heart rate. D: Diurnal variation in endothelial-dependent vasodilation to ACh. E: Diurnal variation in endothelial vasodilation; vasodilator response to 3 nmol/L ACh. F: Diurnal variation in eNOS activation (ratio of phospho-eNOS to total eNOS protein). G: Diurnal variation in vasomotor response to insulin. AD: Results from obese animals are denoted by circles and lean by triangles, and, where appropriate, values at 8:00 a.m. by open symbols and those at 8:00 p.m. by closed symbols. EG: Obese animals are denoted by checkered bars and lean by solid bars, and 8:00 a.m. values are denoted by gray and 8:00 p.m. by black; in G, open bars denote insulin and filled bars vehicle treatment. Two-way ANOVA: *P < 0.05 and #P < 0.001. A, D, E, and G: n = 8–13 per group. B, C, and F: n = 4–6 per group.
