Systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR) (beats/min), body weight (g), and heart and left kidney weight (% body weight) in control rats, hypertensive rats, and HEJ- (100 and 300 mg/kg) treated hypertensive rats. Data are represented as mean ± SEM (n = 5–7 rats) and were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc Newman–Keuls test. versus control and versus hypertensive.
