| Group | BW (g) | HW/BW (mg/g) | HR (bpm) | LVW/BW (mg/g) | LV EF, (%) | LV SV (µl) | LA Dimension (mm) |
| Control | 25.6 ± 0.7 | 4.2 ± 0.13 | 492 ± 14 | 3.1 ± 0.2 | 59.5 ± 1.1 | 33.3 ± 1.3 | 1.8 ± 0.1 |
| Diabetic | 21.1 ± 0.6a | 4.0 ± 0.10 | 471 ± 25 | 2.8 ± 0.2 | 54.8 ± 1.0a | 28.4 ± 1.3* | 2.3 ± 0.1a |
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). BW, body weight in grams; HW, heart weight; HR, heart rate in beats per minute.
