Fig. 1

Effect of exposure to hypobaric hypoxia on SBP in rats. The mean shows the SBP in rats (n = 30) before exposure to hypoxia and after an exposure time of 30 days. SBP values were significantly higher in the group of hypoxia-induced hypertension rats (n = 10, *p < 0.001). Differences in SBP between hypertensive and nonhypertensive rats after exposure to hypoxia (n = 10, **p < 0.001)
