  1. Basal data were obtained from 5 min averaged values immediately prior to 5 min of white noise sound exposure. Values are mean ± SEM. Paired t tests to assess the statistical differences in basal values within each rat group found no significant effect of Tempol in the mediation of baseline MAP or HR
