Table 1. Blood pressure in adult WT and AMEC-KO mice.
WT | KO | p | |
---|---|---|---|
Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) | 134.67 ± 2.29 | 126.20 ± 1.64 | <0.001*** |
Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg) | 92.37 ± 2.14 | 91.03 ± 1.46 | 0.05 |
Pulse (betas/min) | 672.83 ± 12.75 | 687.38 ± 5.38 | 0.33 |
Blood flow rate (mL/min) | 22.04 ± 0.45 | 22.27 ± 0.52 | 0.82 |
Tail blood volume (μl) | 20.50 ± 0.60 | 26.06 ± 0.89 | <0.001*** |
Blood pressure parameters as measured with the CODA system in wild type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice (n = 8 per group). Values are mean ± SEM of all valid measurements. Systolic blood pressure was lower in AMEC-KO than in WT mice. Tail blood volume was higher in AMEC-KO than in WT mice.
