Figure 3. Diastolic properties of cardiac ventricular cardiomyocytes were more compromised in adult LCR compared with HCR rats, and this difference was sustained or accentuated with aging.

Figure 3

(A&B) Cell relaxation and rate of Ca2+ transient decay were impaired in LCR rats compared to HCR rats, but did not change with aging. (C) Diastolic Ca2+ concentration was higher in adult LCR rats compared to adult HCR, and increased with aging in LCR, but not HCR rats. Adult: 15-20 months; Old Age: >25 months. *: p<0.05 age-matched LCR vs. HCR.
