Right ventricular dysfunctions in type 1 diabetic mice: A longitudinal study

Figure 8 The impact of type 1 diabetes on cardiac hypertrophy in the left and right ventricles of OVE26 and FVB mice. A and B: Changes in atrial natriuretic peptide protein levels in the left ventricle were assayed by Western blot; C: Changes in atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA expression in the left ventricle were measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; D and E: Changes in atrial natriuretic peptide protein levels in the right ventricle were assayed by Western blot; F: Changes in atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA expression in the right ventricle were measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 4). ^aP < 0.05 vs control FVB mice; ^bP < 0.01 vs control FVB mice. LV: Left ventricle; ANP: Atrial natriuretic peptide; RV: Right ventricle.
