Figure 1From: An increase in adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) content in rostral ventrolateral medulla is engaged in the high fructose diet-induced hypertensionHigh fructose diet induces increases in blood pressure and sympathetic vasomotor activity in rats. The systemic arterial pressure (SAP, A) and power density of low frequency (LF, B) component of the SAP signals, our experimental index of the sympathetic vasomotor activity, measured in week 12 in animals subjected to the normal diet (ND) or high fructose diet (HFD). Values are mean ± SEM (n = 8 to 12 animals in each experimental group). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus ND group in the student t test.Back to article page
