Cardiac function. Tg-CAST, Capn4−/− (knockout [KO]), and wild-type (WT) mice were injected with STZ. Two (Tg-CAST) or five months (Capn4−/−) after STZ injection, in vivo hemodynamic measurement was performed. Changes in −dP/dtmin (A and C) and LV stiffness (B and D) are shown. Data are mean ± SD; n = 6–10 per group. *P < 0.05 vs. WT sham; #P < 0.05 vs. WT STZ. Two months after STZ injection, mouse hearts were isolated and perfused in a Langendorff system. Contractile function of the heart was determined. Changes in the rate of contraction (+dF/dtmax; E and G) and relaxation (−dF/dtmin; F and H) are presented. Data are mean ± SD; n = 8 to 9 per group. *P < 0.05 vs. WT sham; #P < 0.05 vs. WT STZ.
