Figure 6. Exogenous cBIN1 rescues diastolic heart failure in diabetic mice.
(A) Representative images of longitudinal axis view of left ventricles at end diastolic (top) and systolic (bottom) phases in posttreatment mice (17 weeks of age). Quantification of end-diastolic volume (EDV), cardiac output (CO), and ejection fraction (EF) from each group are included in the bar graphs below (n = 12–17). (B) Representative images of mitral valve inflow pulsed wave Doppler (top) and septal mitral valve annulus tissue Doppler (bottom) in posttreatment mice. Quantification of E/A, E/e’, and isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) from each group are included in the bar graphs below (n = 11–17). (C and D) The ratio of heart weight (C) and lung weight (D) over tibial length after treatment (n = 13–17). All data are presented as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test or Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test was used for comparison between selected pairs. *, **, *** indicates P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, respectively, for comparison versus db/m + GFP; †, ††, ††† indicates P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, respectively, for comparison between db/db + GFP and db/db + cBIN1.
