Left ventricular functional analysis with echocardiography. (A) Representative M-mode echocardiograms from control (Con), untreated diabetic (Dia), diabetic treated with NAC (NAC) and diabetic treated with α-LA (α-LA) rats. LVESD, left ventricular end systolic diameter; LVEDD, left ventricular end diastolic diameter. (B) The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from Con, Dia, NAC and α-LA rats. *P < 0.05 versus control group; **P < 0.05 versus diabetic group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6–8). (C) The mean left ventricular fractional shortening (FS) from Con, Dia, NAC and α-LA rats. *P < 0.05 versus control group; **P < 0.05 versus diabetic group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6–8).
