STZ-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus reduces diastolic function. To determine diastolic performance, left ventricular anterior wall (a), left ventricular posterior wall (b), LV internal diameter (c), and end-diastolic volume (d) were assessed using a Vevo 3100. In addition, diastolic wall strain (e) was calculated using posterior wall thicknesses during systole and diastole. 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).
