Left ventricular gene expression analysis. LV gene expression of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) did not alter in exercised animals. Expression of β-myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA was decreased in exercised female animals, that resulted in an increase of α-MHC/β-MHC ratio, while there was no difference between male exercised and control rats. MCo, male control group; MEx, male exercised group; FCo, female control group; FEx, female exercised group. Values are means ± SEM. p < 0.05 vs. MCo, #p < 0.05 vs. FCo, pi: interaction p-value of two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
