Baseline cardiovascular values for contraction and stretch experiments
| Nondiabetic | 21-wk T2DM | 31-wk T2DM | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contraction | |||
| MAP, mmHg | 77 ± 5 | 66 ± 5 | 73 ± 7 |
| HR, beats/min | 383 ± 14 | 276 ± 8* | 336 ± 8*# |
| BF, mL/min | 0.30 ± 0.06 | 1.06 ± 0.20* | 0.35 ± 0.05 |
| Stretch | |||
| MAP, mmHg | 88 ± 10 | – | 78 ± 10 |
| HR, beats/min | 406 ± 23 | – | 353 ± 12 |
Values are means ± SE. T2DM, type-2 diabetes mellitus; MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; BF, blood flow.
*
P < 0.05, significantly different from nondiabetic rats.
#
P < 0.05, significantly different from 21-wk T2DM rats.
