Figure 2

(A) Cardiomyocyte CSA was increased in WTO, GKS, and GKO rats. (B) Cardiac fibrosis was increased in GKS and GKO rats. *P<0.05 vs WTS, P<0.05 vs WTO, P<0.05 vs GKS; CSA, cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area; GKO, Goto–Kakizaki rats with ovariectomy; GKS, Goto–Kakizaki with sham operation; WTO, wild-type rats with ovariectomy; WTS, wild-type with sham operation.
