Figure 6

Representative examples of original data of blood pressure measurements at rest and during maximal exercise (exhaustion) on the treadmill. The upper row shows 10-second intervals, the lower row represents 1-second intervals cut from the above sample. Typical arterial blood pressure waveforms with a visible dichrotic notch (arrow) were obtained from the same tg6 mouse, with almost no artefacts. At rest, mean values (calculated from 10-second intervals) were as follows: systolic blood pressure 115 [standard deviation (SD) 3.0] mmHg; diastolic blood pressure 86 (SD 2.4) mmHg; heart rate 555 (SD 2.4) beats per minute. At exhaustion, mean values (calculated from 10-second intervals) were: systolic blood pressure 170 (SD 0.9) mmHg; diastolic blood pressure 135 (SD 0.7) mmHg; heart rate 750 (SD 0.01) beats per minute.
