Table 4. Slope values obtained from the linear regression lines in the groups studied.

Groups	Splanchnic SNA		Renal SNA
	Pressor response	Depressor response	Pressor response	Depressor response
	Slope (sps/mmHg)	Slope (sps/mmHg)	Slope (sps/mmHg)	Slope (sps/mmHg)
Control	-0.83 ± 0.14 (n = 9)	-0.45 ± 0.07 (n = 9)	-1.96 ± 0.22 (n = 9)	-0.60 ± 0.18 (n = 9)
BDL	-1.60 ± 0.25 (n = 9) *	-0.77 ± 0.12 (n = 9) *	-0.94 ± 0.26 (n = 7) *	-0.62 ± 0.13 (n = 7)

Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM.

n, number of rats,

sps, spikes per second;

BDL, bile duct ligation.

*P < 0.05 compared to control group (Student’s t test).
