Resting cardiorespiratory variables in the three groups of rats
| Group | MAP (mmHg) | PND rate (bursts/min) | CO2(%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Untreated (n = 7) | 141.6 ± 2.0 | 45.5 ± 1.7 | 3.0 ± 0.1 |
| SAP treated (n = 5) | 134.6 ± 1.9 | 47.9 ± 1.8 | 2.7 ± 0.1 |
| SSP-SAP treated (n = 5) | 124.2 ± 6.3 | 69.1 ± 3.5* | 2.6 ± 0.1 |
↵* p < 0.05 when compared with SAP-treated rats and untreated rats (ANOVA).
