Dietary choline (1.2%) exacerbates cardiac dilation and dysfunction after 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6 Nx) in CD1 mice when compared with a control diet. (A) Schematic design of CKD animal model (5/6 Nx) and treatments (B) The serum level of TMAO. (C) The serum level of serum creatinine (Scr). (D) The serum level of blood urea nitrogen (BUN). (E) Representative M-mode echocardiograms for each group. (F–K) Echocardiographic quantification of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF %), LV fractional shortening (LVFS %), LV end-systolic volume (LVESV; in μL), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV; in μL), LV end-systolic diameter (LVESD; in mm), and LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD; in mm). The data are presented as the mean ± SD. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 vs. SHAM group; # p < 0.05 and ## p < 0.01 vs. CKD group. n = 6 in each group.
