Changes in fractional shortening and left ventricle dimensions in Diabetic Mice.

<p>A: LV end-systolic diameters 24 hour post -MI. The LV end-systolic diameter increased in diabetic mice compared with non-diabetic values (*<i>p</i><0 05 vs. non diabetic # <i>p</i><0.05 vs. diabetes values are presented as means ± SD). B: Fractional shortening (FS): CoPP treatment increased FS compared to the untreated diabetic ones SnPP abolished the beneficial effect (*<i>p</i><0.05 vs. non diabetic # <i>p</i><0.01 vs. diabetes, ^$<i>p</i><0.05 vs. diabetes + CoPP values are presented as means ± SD; n = 7 in control and CoPP group; n = 5 in other groups values are presented as means ± SD).
