Angiotensinase C mRNA and Protein Downregulations Are Involved in Ethanol-Deteriorated Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

<div>Chronic ethanol consumption damaged the LV systolic function in the SHRs. (a) Representative echocardiograms. (b) Before ethanol treatment, the SHRs showed enlarged LVDs with decreased LVFS and LVEF. (c) The LV chamber sizes were enlarged with the decreased LVFS and LVEF at the end of the experiments, especially in the SHR with 49-day ethanol treatment. All values are means ± SDs.</div>
