Left ventricular pump function and electrophysiological parameters following THC administration to control and diabetic rats.
| Parameter | WKY | WKY + THC | STZ | STZ + THC |
| Action potential duration at 20% of repolarisation (msec) | | | | | Action potential duration at 50% of repolarisation (msec) | | | | | Action potential duration at 90% of repolarisation (msec) | | | | | Resting membrane potential (mV) | | | | | Force of contraction (mN) | | | | | Diastolic stiffness | | | | | (mmHg sec−1) | | | | | (mmHg sec−1) | | | | |
