Data are given as mean ± SEM in mm Hg.

The difference between the direct blood pressure measurements and the indirect blood pressure measurements were determined at the arm, leg, and tail for oscillometric measurements. Significant (P < 0.05) differences between adirect measurement from the leg and corresponding indirect measurement or between indirect measurements on the barm and leg, carm and tail, or dleg and tail are indicated.
