Effect of treatments on systemic blood pressure in SHRSP

	SHRSP	SHRSP + AhT	SHRSP + EPL
Systolic arterial pressure, mmHg	214 ± 4	130 ± 6*	237 ± 3*
Diastolic arterial pressure, mmHg	170 ± 5	91 ± 6*	203 ± 3*
Mean arterial pressure, mmHg	181 ± 4	104 ± 6*	214 ± 3*
Body weight, g	339 ± 8	298 ± 9†	343 ± 1

Values are means ± SE. SHRSP, stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (n = 8); AhT, antihypertensive treatment (n = 11); EPL, eplerenone (n = 5).

^*P < 0.05, different from SHRSP, one-way ANOVA with a Sidak correction for multiple comparisons.

^†P < 0.05 different from SHRSP and SHRSP + EPL, one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni posttest.
