abstract：:Selected parameters of cardiovascular function were evaluated in vitamin A-deficient rats at 70 days of age. Resting heart rate was increased by an average of 100 bpm (21.4+/-2.7%), whereas resting systolic blood pressure was normal in vitamin A-deficient animals. The maximal contractile force developed per milligram ...
