Fig. 3From: Left ventricular deformation associated with cardiomyocyte Ca2+ transients delay in early stage of low-dose of STZ and high-fat diet induced type 2 diabetic ratsM-mode echocardiography measurement of left ventricular of rats during dobutamine infusion (10 g/kg/min) from tail intravenous at 12 weeks. The statistically differences of EF%, FS%, ESD and ESV between the two groups could be detected. * P < 0.05; # P < 0.01; Abbreviations: EF = ejection fraction; FS = fractional shortening; EDD = end-diastolic diameter; ESD = end-systolic diameter; EDV = end-diastolic volume; ESV = end-systolic volumeBack to article page
