Table 1.

Hemodynamic parameters in control rats (C, n = 20), diabetic rats (D, n = 16), and diabetic rats treated for 3 weeks with CoPP (D + CoPP, n = 16).

	HR (beats/min)	LVP (mmHg)	LVDP (mmHg)
C (n = 20)	213 ± 3	120 ± 6	110 ± 4
D (n = 16)	178 ± 3*	93 ± 9#	81 ± 5#
D + CoPP (n = 16)	207 ± 4	105 ± 5*	94 ± 3*

Data are expressed as means ± SEM. HR, heart rate; LVP, left ventricular systolic pressure; LVDP, left ventricular developed pressure calculated as described in Section “Materials and Methods,” *p < 0.05 vs. other groups, ^#p < 0.05 vs. controls.
