Table 1.
Body and heart weights of rats after coronary artery occlusion and diabetes induction.
| Number | Group | n | Body weight, g | Glucose, mol/L | Heart weight/body weight, mg/g |
Left ventricle weight/heart weight, mg/mg | Scar area, % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Control | 12 | 298 ± 23.7 | 6 ± 0.37 | 3.29 ± 0.21 | 0.645 ± 0.013 | — |
| II | PICR | 11 | 242 ± 11.17∗∗# | 7 ± 0.13# | 6.27 ± 0.33∗∗# | 0.687 ± 0.016∗∗ | 51.3 ± 8.9 |
| III | DM | 8 | 160 ± 14.8∗ | 27 ± 2.75∗ | 3.77 ± 0.31 | 0.676 ± 0.014 | — |
| IV | PICR + DM | 8 | 221 ± 4.51∗ | 18 ± 1.79∗ | 3.37 ± 0.11 | 0.673 ± 0.019 | 46.1 ± 2.7 |
Note. PICR: rats with postinfarction cardiac remodeling. ∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗ p < 0.05 compared with control, # p < 0.05 compared with PICR. Scar area was calculated as a percentage from area of free wall of left ventricle.
