Figure 1. M-mode measurements before and after dobutamine treatment in 22 week old mice.

Figure 1

For this analysis F1 generation mice from dams treated with vehicle or caffeine from E6.5–9.5 were used. Baseline echocardiograms were taken of (A) vehicle- and (C) caffeine-treated mice. 20 minutes after dobutamine another set of echocardiograms were taken of (B) vehicle- and (D) caffeine-treated mice. Data indicate that caffeine-exposed hearts have impaired response to β-adrenergic stimulation during systole and diastole. Measurements that were altered include interventricular septum (IVS;s); left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW;s, d); d, diastole; s, systole. N = 3–4, P ≤ 0.05. Scale bar = 1 mm.
