Ten weeks postpartum cardiac function outcomes for normal pregnant (NP) postpartum, RUPP postpartum, and RUPP + AT1-AA inhibition (‘n7AAc’) postpartum rats. All statistical analyzes were performed by a one-way ANOVA with Bonferoni’s post hoc test. *p ≤ 0.05 vs. NP and ⁺p ≤ 0.05 vs. RUPP for n ≥ 6 rats

*p < 0.05 vs. NP postpartum; ⁺p < 0.05 vs. RUPP postpartum rats
