Figure 1From: ACE-inhibition, but not weight reduction restores cardiomyocyte response to β-adrenergic stimulation in the metabolic syndrome Cell contraction at baseline in WT, ob/ ob and DKO at 24 weeks. Representative example of unloaded cell shortening at 1 Hz in WT, ob/ob and DKO (A), unloaded cell shortening (B), TTP (C) and RT50 (D) at 1 Hz stimulation frequency in WT (n = 44), ob/ob (n = 24) and DKO (n = 25). * denotes p < 0.05 vs. WT, + p < 0.05 vs. untreated ob/ob and £ p< 0.05 vs. untreated DKO.Back to article page
