The rats were anesthetized with isoflurane and telemetry BP transmitters (model HSD10, Data Sciences International, New Brighton, Minnesota) were implanted in the abdominal aorta distal to the renal arteries under sterile conditions, as previously described (19,25). After stable control measurements for food intake and hemodynamic status, the rats were submitted to baseline echocardiography followed by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation surgery, as previously described (26).
