Cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations (mmol/L) in plasma samples from SHRs treated with midodrine or atenolol and control animals.

	Basal control	Midodrine (group I)	Atenolol (group II)	Control (group III)	value
Total cholesterol (mM)	^a	^a	^a		<0.001
LDL cholesterol (mM)		^a	^a		<0.001
HDL cholesterol (mM)		^a	^a		<0.001
Triglycerides (mM)					0.092

Variables are expressed as . The values represent overall differences among groups as determined by the Kruskal-Wallis test. ^a,bData values with the same letter did not differ significantly based on the Mann-Whitney test. LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein.
