Data are presented as absolute values and means ± SD; n = 12 (10 M, 2 F). Comparisons between conditions within Spontaneous Breathing or Paced Breathing were made using separate one-way ANOVA with post hoc Sidak’s test pairwise comparisons. P value columns are main effect of drink. WDifferent from Water (P < 0.05); Ddifferent from Diet (P = 0.03); Sdifferent from Sucrose (P < 0.01). DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HFCS, high-fructose corn syrup; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
