Figure Lengend Snippet: Basal physiological data assessed during the acute surgery. ( A ) Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure evaluated through femoral artery. ( B ) Heart rate calculated from the electrocardiogram. ( C ) Respiratory frequency assessed from tracheal pressure. Values are the mean ± SEM for n Ctrl F = 10, n IntPb F = 16, n PerPb F = 15, n Ctrl M = 9, n IntPb M = 15, and n PerPb M = 16. The symbols denote statistically significant differences intergroup (Ctrl vs. IntPb vs. PerPb—* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001) and inter-gender (IntPb F vs. IntPb M/PerPb F vs. PerPb M—### p < 0.001). One-way ANOVA. Tuckey’s multiple comparison test.
