BW, body weight; HW, heart weight; LW, lung weight; TL, tibia length; LVEDd, left ventricular end‐diastolic dimension (diastolic); LVEDs, left ventricular end‐systolic dimension (systolic); LVPWd, left ventricular posterior wall (diastolic); IVSTd, interventricular septum thickness (diastolic); EF, ejection fraction.

Data were represented as mean ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05 versus corresponding sham control.
