As to AT₁R in the RVLM, value for WKY-SHR was 0.0006, value for Sed-ExT was 0.0616, and value for cross interactions was 0.0177; as to ACE in the RVLM, value for WKY-SHR was <0.0001, value for Sed-ExT was 0.0045, and value for cross interactions was 0.1937; as to AT₁R in the NTS, value for WKY-SHR was 0.3501, value for Sed-ExT was 0.7997, and value for cross interactions was 0.8495; as to ACE in the NTS, value for WKY-SHR was 0.5408, value for Sed-ExT was 0.4906, and value for cross interactions was 0.9744.
