Values of body weight, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and glycaemia in control and diabetic rats.

	Body weight (g)	Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	Heart rate (bpm)	Glycaemia (mM)	𝑛
Control rats
Initial time	219 ± 9.0	118 ± 5.0	375 ± 10.0	5.6 ± 0.2	40
8 weeks after	424 ± 16.0	130 ± 4.0	392 ± 15.0	4.8 ± 0.1	40
Diabetic rats
Initial time	192 ± 10.0	124 ± 5.0	310 ± 6.0	5.6 ± 0.1	175
8 weeks after	309 ± 11.8*	157 ± 0.7*	365 ± 10.0	20.1 ± 0.7*	175

Results are means ± SEM for “𝑛” rats.
*Significantly different from the corresponding value in control rats, 𝑃<.05.
