Table 1. Basal values of body weight, Tb and ventilatory parameters of Wistar and WAR groups during normoxia conditions (control period), before hypercapnia or hypoxia.
| Wistar (n = 9) | WAR (n = 6) | |
|---|---|---|
| Body weight (g) | 237 ± 2 | 119 ± 5* |
| Tb (°C) | 36.7 ± 0.1 | 36.3 ± 0.2 |
| fR (breaths/min) | 108 ± 4 | 104 ± 8 |
| VT (mL) | 1.6 ± 0.1 | 1.5 ± 0.08 |
| VE (mL/min) | 175 ± 10 | 157 ± 12 |
All values presented as mean ± SEM. Tb, body temperature, fR, respiratory frequency; VT, tidal volume; VE, ventilation.
(*) Significantly different from Wistar control group. Unpaired Student’s t tests.
