Baseline | Post-LBNP | P-value | |
Epinephrine (pg ml−1) | 61±15 | 58±23 | 0.766 |
Norepinephrine (pg ml−1) | 288±81 | 410±194 | 0.097 |
Vasopressin (pg ml−1) | 1.1±0.3 | 1.8±1.4 | 0.178 |
Renin activity (ng ml−1 h−1) | 1.1 [0.6–3.5] | 2.7 [1.1–13.2]* | 0.008 |
Mean±SD and median [range], n = 8, * significantly different from baseline, using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure with a false discovery rate of 0.05.
