The effects of a 6-week administration of 13-cis-RA (1 mg/kg/day, i.p.) and a 1-week administration of BLEB (125 nmol/day, intra-arterial) on mean blood pressure (MBP, mmHg), systolic blood pressure (SBP, mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP, mmHg), heart rate (HR, beats/min), and urine production (UP, ml/day)

Data were analyzed by the two-way analysis of variance (two-way ANOVA), n = 15 in each group. MBP: 13-cis-RA effect [F(1,56) = 0.8283, p = 0.3667], BLEB effect [F(1,56) = 0.01174, p = 0.9141), 13-cis-RA × BLEB interaction [F(1,56) = 0.9936, p = 0.3231). SBP: 13-cis-RA effect [F(1,56) = 1.587, p = 0.2130], BLEB effect [F(1,56) = 3.030, p = 0.0872), 13-cis-RA × BLEB interaction [F(1,56) = 0.7979, p = 0.3755). DBP: 13-cis-RA effect [F(1,56) = 1.240, p = 0.2702], BLEB effect [F(1,56) = 0.1449, p = 0.7049), 13-cis-RA × BLEB interaction [F(1,56) = 3.410, p = 0.0701).
