Deprivation of sexual activity does not significantly affect atrial and B-type natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP) levels in mice with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). (A) Plasma ANP and (B) BNP levels in DCM+S and DCM-S mice. DCM-S, ND (DCM non-breeders, normal diet, black); DCM-S, BD (DCM non-breeders, breeding diet, blue); DCM+S, BD (DCM breeders, breeding diet, red). Dashed line control is shown for mice without DCM, n = 7. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM); ns = non-significant.
