Symbolic dynamics analysis. Percentage of occurrence of families from symbolic dynamics analysis of systolic arterial pressure (A; 0 V and 1 V) and pulse interval (B; 0 V and 2UV). * P < 0.05 compared to WKY + Sham and #P < 0.05 compared to WKY + PD. WKY rats without periodontal disease (WKY + Sham, n = 7); Wistar Kyoto rats with periodontal disease (WKY + PD, n = 10); Spontaneously hypertensive rats without periodontitis (SHR + Sham, n = 7); Spontaneously hypertensive rats with periodontitis (SHR + PD, n = 6)
