STZ-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated with impaired morphological parameters. (a) Blood glucose levels (mg/dl) in control mice and 6w, 9w, and 12w after STZ application. Besides increased blood glucose, mice suffering from type 1 diabetes displayed lower body weight (g) over time (b). As morphological parameters, LV mass (mg; c) and LV mass/body weight (d) are depicted. Bar graphs represent the mean ± SEM. Data were analysed with One-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001 versus corresponding control; p < 0.05, ††p < 0.01, †††p < 0.001, ††††p < 0.0001 versus the 6w STZ; p < 0.05, ‡‡p < 0.01, ‡‡‡p < 0.001, ‡‡‡‡p < 0.0001 versus the 9w STZ; n = 12/controls and n = 14/STZ).
