Group | N | Weight* (g) | MBP: baseline (mmHg) | MBP:+zib (mmHg) | MBP: post-infusion final week (mmHg) |
Aβ | 20 | 343 (321–365) | 102 (98–107) | – | 105 (99–111)a |
Saline | 11 | 352 (325–379) | 104 (101–107) | – | 104 (99–109) |
Aβ+zib | 12 | 341 (299–383) | 109 (103–115) | 102 (95–109)b | 104 (95–114) |
Saline+zib | 12 | 338 (327–349) | 105 (102–108) | 100 (97–102)c | 101 (96–107) |
Telemetry data (mean blood pressure; MBP) in Aβ- and saline-infused groups. Mean values (95% CI). *Weight prior to telemetry surgery at 12–14 weeks of age. Pre-infusion baseline MBP for all groups. MBP following Zibotentan (+zib) administration for Aβ+zib and saline+zib groups (measured pre-infusion). Post-infusion data for final week of Aβ or saline infusion (day 22–28). Baseline MBP did not differ significantly between groups (one-way ANOVA, p = 0.249). Final week MBP was significantly higher than baseline in the Aβ group (paired t-test, ap = 0.0404). MBP was significantly reduced in the Aβ+zib group (Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, bp = 0.0049) and the saline+zib group (Tukey’s, cp < 0.0001) following administration of Zibotentan.
