The beneficial effect of SG on the heart function and myocardial glucose uptake. (A) The representative images of echocardiography, and the (B) LVEDD, (C) LVESD, (D) EF, (E) FS were measured and analyzed. (F) The representative heart PET images of the rats and (G) comparisons of the myocardial glucose uptake through SUVMean. Data are expressed as means±SEM for n=10 per groups. *p<0.05 vs. CON group, **p<0.001 vs. CON group, ***p<0.0001 vs. CON group; #p<0.05 vs. SHAM group, ##p<0.001 vs. SHAM group, ###p<0.0001 vs. SHAM group. PET, positron-emission tomography; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic diameter; EF, ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening; SUVMean, the average standard uptake value; CON, control; DM, diabetes mellitus; SHAM, sham operation; SG, sleeve gastrectomy.
