Values are means±SEMs. LF, low-frequency component; HF, high-frequency component. αLF and αHF represent the spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity calculated with the LF or HF components of PI and corresponding SAP components. Measurements were made in 4–5 WKY/subgroup and 8-10 SHR/subgroup. Significances (P < 0.05) are
