Values are mean ± SEM (n = 6 per group). *P < 0.05 vs NDS, P < 0.05 vs NDOVe, and P < 0.05 vs HFOVe. NDS, normal-diet fed sham-operated rats; NDO, normal-diet fed ovariectomized rats; HFO, high-fat-diet fed ovariectomized rats; Ve, vehicle; E, estradiol; Vil, vildagliptin; LVESP, left ventricular end systolic pressure; LVEDP, left ventricular end diastolic pressure; +dP/dt, maximal slope of the systolic pressure increment; −dP/dt, maximal slope of the diastolic pressure decrement; SV/BW, stroke volume/body weight.
