Comparison of hindleg edema and blood pressure lowering of 1 mg/kg nifedipine between the SHR and SD rat Values are means ± S.E.M.
Animal | Hindleg Edema | Maximum MBP Lowering |
|---|---|---|
| % increase in integral T2 | mm Hg | |
| SHR | 2606 ± 86 (n = 6) | –77 ± 4 (n = 6) |
| SD rat | 1439 ± 129* (n = 3) | –19 ± 3* (n = 3) |
