Evolution of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure measured by tail cuff in mice during 3 mo of catechin treatment

Mice	n	HR, beats/min	SBP, mmHg	DBP, mmHg	PP, mmHg
3-mo WT	6	691 ± 9	137 ± 6	106 ± 5	31 ± 2
6-mo WT	6	684 ± 9	127 ± 3	97 ± 2	30 ± 2
3-mo ATX	11	644 ± 26	146 ± 3	114 ± 3	32 ± 1
6-mo ATX	5	662 ± 18	146 ± 7*	112 ± 6*	34 ± 2
6-mo ATX + CAT	6	602 ± 23	141 ± 8	108 ± 7	33 ± 1

Values are means ± SE; n, no. of mice. HR, heart rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PP, pulse pressure.

^*P < 0.05 vs. 6-mo WT.
