a
P<0.05 vs. WT MI group.
b
P<0.05 vs. WT MI group. WT, wild type; MI, myocardial infarction; FXR, farnesoid X receptor; EF, ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening; LVEDD, LV end-diastolic diameter; LVESD, LV end-systolic diameter; LV, left-ventricular. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean.
