Effects of stress on SBP, MBP, DBP, HR and BRS in rats pretreated with V1a-receptor antagonist or vehicle (10% DMSO)

I.C.V.	SBP (mmHg)	MBP (mmHg)	DBP (mmHg)	HR (bpm)	BRS (ms·mmHg⁻¹)
BASELINE 10% DMSO (5 μL)	123 ± 4	96 ± 4	83 ± 4	390 ± 16	1.4 ± 0.2
STRESS 10% DMSO (5 μL)	+20 ± 4**	+22 ± 4**	+23 ± 5**	+55 ± 12*	0.66 ± 0.2 *
BASELINE V1a (100 ng·5 μL⁻¹)	120 ± 4	96 ± 3	84 ± 3	370 ± 10	1.4 ± 0.3
STRESS V1a (100 ng·5 μL⁻¹)	+15 ± 3**	+16 ± 3**	+16 ± 3**	+59 ± 19*	0.75 ± 0.1 *
BASELINE V1a (500 ng·5 μL⁻¹)	120 ± 5	95 ± 4	82 ± 3	395 ± 13	1.8 ± 0.3
STRESS V1a (500 ng·5 μL⁻¹)	+12 ± 1*	+10 ± 5*	+9 ± 2*	50 ± 22 *	1.1 ± 0.4*

Values are mean ± SEM of six experiments. Stress increases SBP, MBP, DBP, HR and decreases BRS. Note that V1a antagonist pretreatment does not modify the stress response. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus corresponding baseline.
