  1. Mean (±SD) values for systemic, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (measured with the HDO and the Cardell device), plasma ET-1 and serum cortisol concentration measured in two different breeds (Standardbred horses and Icelandic horses). * P 「 0.05 versus Standardbred horses. BP S : systolic blood pressure, BP D : diastolic blood pressure. n = 9, except for plasma ET-1 in the Icelandic horses where n = 7.
