Evaluation of baroreflex control of heart rate in renovascular hypertensive mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the baroreflex and the autonomic control of heart rate (HR) in renovascular hypertensive mice. Experiments were carried out in conscious C57BL/6 (n = 16) mice 28 days after a 2-kidney 1-clip procedure (2K1C mice) or a sham operation (sham mice). Baroreflex sensitivity was evaluated by measuring changes in heart rate (HR) in response to increases or decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) induced by phenylephrine or sodium nitroprusside. Cardiac autonomic tone was determined by use of atropine and atenolol. Basal HR and MAP were significantly higher in 2K1C mice than in sham mice. The reflex tachycardia induced by decreases in MAP was greatly attenuated in 2K1C mice compared with sham mice. Consequently, the baroreflex sensitivity was greatly decreased (2.2 +/- 0.4 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.3 beats x min(-1) x mmHg(-1)) in hypertensive mice compared with sham mice. The reflex bradycardia induced by increases in MAP and the baroreflex sensitivity were similar in both groups. Evaluation of autonomic control of HR showed an increased sympathetic tone and a tendency to a decreased vagal tone in 2K1C mice compared with that in sham mice. 2K1C hypertension in mice is accompanied by resting tachycardia, increased predominance of the cardiac sympathetic tone over the cardiac vagal tone, and impairment of baroreflex sensitivity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
