Baseline hemodynamic, sympathetic nerve activity, and hematological values

Group	n	MAP, mmHg	HR, beats/min	sSNA, μV	PosM, mosmol/kg	Pprotein, g/dl	Hct, %
Control	8	98 ± 4	392 ± 11	3.8 ± 0.6	332 ± 4†	4.6 ± 0.2	47 ± 1
Water deprived	8	96 ± 5	386 ± 12	6.5 ± 1.0*	352 ± 3†*	5.6 ± 0.1*	55 ± 1*

Values are means ± SE; n, no. of rats. MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; sSNA, splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity; PosM, plasma osmolality; Pprotein, Plasma protein concentration; Hct, hematocrit. Each variable was compared by one-way ANOVA.

^†Values are elevated by approximately 30 mosmol due to contribution of urethane-chloralose anesthesia.

^*P < 0.01 vs. control.
