Influence of pretreatment with saline or L-NAME on the effects of Ang-(1-7) in the PVN in Sham and CHF rats. The CSAR was evaluated by the RSNA and MAP responses to the epicardial application of capsaicin. Values are expressed as mean ± SE.

Baseline	MAP change (mm Hg)	4.5 ± 1.35	5.2 ± 0.85	11.0 ± 0.75^†	10.2 ± 0.99^†
CSAR	RSNA change (%)	14.31 ± 1.01	14.85 ± 1.11	21.26 ± 1.92^†	20.05 ± 0.94^†
