Figure 1. Changes in contractile parameters with ageing and resveratrol treatment in the heart.

Figure 1

SAMP8 mice at respective ages were subject to non-invasive echocardiographic measurements. Fractional shortening (FS) and ejection fraction (EF) were significantly reduced in aged hearts relative to young hearts whereas these ageing-associated reductions were not observed in resveratrol-treated mice. Y, young mice; AG, aged mice; AR, aged mice with resveratrol treatment.
