Fig. 3From: Differential contribution of aortic and carotid sinus baroreflexes to control of heart rate and renal sympathetic nerve activityThe influences of sequential baroafferent denervation on the absolute slopes of the ΔMAP–ΔHR curves (a) and the ΔMAP–ΔRSNA curves (b) during the phenylephrine- or nitroprusside-induced intervention. The slopes of the ΔMAP–ΔHR and ΔMAP–ΔRSNA curves in both AoN–CSN and CSN–AoN groups were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA (denervation order × the number of denervated baroafferent nerves). Since a significant interaction between the two factors was absent and the main effect of the number of the denervated nerves was significant, a one-way ANOVA with repeated measures was performed with the Dunnett post hoc test. *Significant difference (P < 0.05) from the value in the intact conditionBack to article page
