Table 1.

Average baseline levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), myocardial contractility (dP/dt_max), and spectral powers of hemodynamic variability at low (0.25–0.75 Hz) and high (0.75–3 Hz) frequency ranges, and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (Index α).

Parameter	OVX	OVXE₂
MAP (mmHg)	102.1±1.2	96.0±1.4^*
HR (beats/min)	352.5±2.8	358.5±7.2
dP/dt_max (mmHg/sec)	1456±79	1782±59^*
IBI_LF/HF	2.47±0.28	1.55±0.37^*
SBP-LF (mmHg²/Hz)	0.16±0.01	0.11±0.01^*
Index α (HF, sec/mmHg)	1.75±0.11	1.40±0.18
Index α (LF, sec/mmHg)	0.65±0.06	0.68±0.11

Values are means±SEM of 6–7 observations. MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; IBI, interbeat interval; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

P<0.05 vs. OVX values (unpaired Student's t-test).
