Table 1 Body weight, blood pressure, spleen weight in the rats

From: Increased expression and functionality of the gap junction in peripheral blood lymphocytes is associated with hypertension-mediated inflammation in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Rats

Body weight (g)

SBP (mm Hg)

Spleen weight (mg)

Weight ratio of spleen to body (mg/g)

WKY (n = 20)

282.0 ± 3.2

119.6 ± 10.1

629.0 ± 15.6

2.23 ± 0.1

SHRs (n = 20)

290.8 ± 2.9

205.5 ± 10.5**

652.5 ± 11.2

2.17 ± 0.0

  1. SBP was increased in SHRs compared with WKY rats. **P < 0.01, compared with WKY group; Data are means ± SEM. SHRs, spontaneously hypertensive rats; WKY, Wistar Kyoto rats
