SBP, Systolic Blood Pressure; HR, Heart Rate; bpm, beats per minute. Values are mean ± sem. Non-parametric ANOVAs analysis with two factors allowed the evaluation of interaction between aging and genotype. N stands for the number of rats; ns stands for not significant. Student's T test * p<0.05 to compare SHHFcp/cp vs. SHHF+/? at same age.
