FIGURE 6.
Representative echocardiographic images of left ventricle in a normoglycaemic db/db+ mouse. Representative B-mode (A,B) and M-mode (C) images of the left ventricle (LV) at mid-papillary level from the parasternal short axis view. LV area was measured at end-diastole (A) and end-systole (B). d: diastole, LVID: left ventricular inner diameter, LVPW: left ventricular posterior wall, s: systole.
