  1. Values are means ± SEM of 8 observations. The unpaired Student’s t test was employed to test for statistical significance.
  2. MAP mean arterial pressure, HR heart rate, SDNN standard deviation of NN intervals, LFnu power in low frequency range (normalized unit), HFnu power in high frequency range (normalized unit).
  3. *P < 0.05 vs. corresponding sham values.
