Effects of liraglutide and telmisartan on body weight, blood sugar, MDA, SOD, NT-pro-BNP, and cardiac hypertrophy after abdominal aortic constriction (AAC). (A) body weight and blood glucose were measured among different groups. (B and C) Levels of MDA, SOD, and NT-pro-BNP activity in myocardial tissue were determined using Elisa kits. (D) MSA in series was measured morphometrically at a HPF (original magnification: 200; scale bars: 100 μm). (E) Heart/body weight ratio (HW/BW, mg/g) was calculated by weight. Values are mean±SEM (n=6/group). *p<0.05 AAC vs Sham; ^#p<0.05 liraglutide (Lira) or telmisartan (Telmi) vs AAC.

Abbreviations: MDA, malonaldehyde; SOD, superoxide dismutase; NT-pro-BNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; MSA, myocyte sectional area.
