Development of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy on high-salt diet. SS/MCWi rats developed marked hypertrophy after 2 wk on 8% NaCl diet. This hypertrophy was sustained after reducing to 1% NaCl and for the remainder of the 6 wk study. Injection of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) did not affect LV wall thickness. Data displayed as means + SE. Low salt control (◆, n = 9); high salt ± vehicle (▫, n = 9); high salt + SS-13BN/MCWi BMMNCs (△, n = 12); high salt + SS/MCWi BMMNCs (○, n = 12). *P < 0.05 vs. low salt control.
