Correlations between functional parameters and PVN Aogen mRNA expression in WKY and SHR groups.

<p><i>Upper panels</i> depict correlations between MAP and SAP variability (<b>A</b>), MAP and LF of SAP (<b>B</b>), LF of SAP and PVN Aogen expression (<b>C</b>), HR and PI variability (<b>D</b>), HR and LF/HF ratio (<b>E</b>) and LF of PI and PVN Aogen expression (<b>F</b>). Regression coefficients are shown in each panel and complete linear regression equations are presented in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0137395#pone.0137395.t003" target="_blank">Table 3</a>. * denotes a significant correlation (P<0.05). Photomicrographs (<i>lower panels)</i> compare the effect of training on PVN Aogen immunofluorescence in a sedentary SHR with a 12-weeks trained SHR. 3V, third ventricle.
