a Comparisons of changes in mean arterial pressure (ΔMAP) and heart rate (ΔHR) in response to electrical stimulation of the bilateral masseter muscles before and after entrapment of gadolinium chloride in masticatory muscles. *p < 0.05 (two-way ANOVA, followed by the Tukey–Kramer post hoc test). b Comparisons of ΔMAP and ΔHR in response to stretching of the unilateral masseter muscles before and after gadolinium chloride entrapment in masticatory muscles in six rats (the verification test for the effect of gadolinium chloride to the mechanoreceptors in masticatory muscles). # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 (one-way ANOVA, followed by the Tukey–Kramer post hoc test)
