Slow-pressor AngII increases blood pressure in peri- and post-AOF mice. Thirteen days after minipump implantation, An-gII infusion did not significantly increase (p > 0.05) SBP in VCD-injected mice at the pre-AOF time point. However, AngII infusion significantly elevated (** p < 0.01) SBP in VCD-injected mice at peri- and post-AOF time points compared to their respective age-matched oil-injected controls. No significant differences in SBP were found in oil/saline (controls) from the pre-, peri- or post-AOF time points. Thus, oil-injected mice are pooled for all AOF time points; n = 4–12 mice/group.
