Amlodipine Ameliorates Ischemia-Induced Neovascularization in Diabetic Rats through Endothelial Progenitor Cell Mobilization

Figure 3

Effects of amlodipine and perindopril on cardiac function after AMI in diabetic rats. (a) Shown are ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVEDs), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), as assessed echocardiographically. (b) Typical M-mode echocardiographic traces in rats from each of the three groups. (c) BNP gene expression as assessed by real-time PCR. per group assessed by echocardiography and per group for real-time PCR assessments. versus control group and versus control group.
