Short-Term Cigarette Smoking in Rats Impairs Physical Capacity and Induces Cardiac Remodeling

Table 1

Parameters of cardiac and renal functions of animals not exposed and exposed to cigarette smoke.

Values are the . Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean blood pressures (MBP) measured in hemodynamic study; developed (DT) and resting tensions (RT) and maximum rate of tension rise () and decline (-) of isolated cardiac muscles; serum creatinine (SCr), creatinine clearance (ClCr), 24 h urinary excretion (Uprot), and urine protein/creatinine clearance ratio (Uprot/CrCl).
