Blood pressure and heart rate of the mice. Blood pressure and the heart rate were measured by the tail-cuff method at baseline (Day -6), 5 days after RDN or sham surgery (Day 0), 14 days (Day 14) and 27 days (Day 27) after starting the angiotensin II infusion. SBP (#P = 0.017), but not DBP (P = 0.152) and MAP (P = 0.076), was significantly lower in mice having RDN compared to controls, as analyzed by LME models. DBP, diastolic pressure; HR, heart rate; MAP, mean arterial pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
