Spectral heart rate variability and selected biochemical markers for autonomic activity in rats under pentobarbital anesthesia

Conclusions Our preliminary findings imply that NA correlates with global autonomic activity (TP) and with the values of sympathetically-driven components (VLF and LF). Furthermore, VIP seems to correlate with specific measures of parasympathetic drive (HF and nHF), but only in male rats.
