Heart rate (HR, beats per minute), systolic blood pressure (SBP, mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP, mmHg) and mean blood pressure (MBP, mmHg) were measured before Ado infusion (0 min) and then every 2 min for the next 10 min. MBP was calculated from SBP and DBP. Values are means ± S.E.M. (n = 5 at all times, except at 10 min where n = 4). * indicate p < 0.05. ** indicate p < 0.01.
