Effects of metabolic surgery on the sympathetic activity of SHRs. A, 24‐hour ambulatory heart rate (HR) in baseline (upper‐left panel) or after surgery at 12 weeks (upper‐right panel) in sham and surgery SHRs. The time courses of HR (lower‐left panel) and average of 24‐hour ambulatory (lower‐right panel) HR in sham and surgery SHR. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 vs. sham SHRs. Data are means±SEM. Each n=7. B, Effect of cold stress on blood pressure and HR variability. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 vs. sham SHRs. Data are means±SEM. Each n=3. bpm indicates beats per minute; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SHRs, spontaneously hypertensive rats.
