Fig. (2).
Effects of TRVR1 ablation and high-fat diet (HFD) on cardiac function of mice with ischemia and reperfusion injury. The hearts from wild type (WT) and TRPV1-/- mice fed control diet (CD) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks were retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus. Coronary flow (CF, a), left ventricular peak positive dP/dt (+dP/dt, b), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP, c), and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP, d) were measured following cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury. Values are mean ± SEM of 6-8 mice. *P<0.05 vs. WT-CD; †P<0.05 vs. TRPV1-/--CD; ‡P<0.05 vs. WT-HFD.
