Cardiac LVFS values of the rats in the respective group
| Groups | Number | LVEDD (mm) | LVESD (mm) | LVFS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 9 | 5.53 ± 0.31 | 3.30 ± 0.15 | 39.97 ± 2.03 |
| DC | 7 | 4.94 ± 0.19 | 3.35 ± 0.10 | 31.96 ± 2.35 |
| DC + SO2 | 8 | 5.02 ± 0.24 | 3.07 ± 0.10 | 38.26 ± 3.45 |
| SO2 | 9 | 4.96 ± 0.20 | 2.97 ± 0.05 | 39.83 ± 1.91 |
Values are presented as mean ± SD. LVFS, left ventricular fractional shortening; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic-dimension; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic dimension; SO2, sulfur dioxide; DC, diabetic cardiomyopathy.
