Day and night average values of blood pressure and heart rate in 3- or 9-mo male mice.

Data are presented as mean ± SEM for n observations per group. Shaded values represent dark/night period (activity period in mice). The day averages were calculated as mean values from 9 to 20 h/individual, while dark period extends from 21 h to 8 h/individual. Difference between groups was analyzed using Two-way ANOVA (maternal diet, adult diet and interaction effect). P0.05 was considered significant while NS stands for not significant. Bonferroni post-test has been performed to assess statistical significant difference within variables.*P
