Figure 7.
(a) ISO/saline showed a significant reduction in EF%, which was restored to normal levels due to the therapeutic treatment of CCrP at the dose of 0.8 g/kg/day; CCrP treatment also significantly reduced levels of TnI (b) and BNP (c). Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. of 4–6 rats. *: statistical significance (p < 0.05) compared to the saline control group. #: statistical significance (p < 0.05) compared to the ISO + saline group. ISO: isoproterenol; CCrP: cyclocreatine phosphate; EF: ejection fraction; hs-cTnI: high-sensitivity Troponin I type 3; and BNP: brain natriuretic peptide.
