XQLT reduces systolic blood pressure and increases body weight in rats with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The effects of XQLT treatment on (a) systolic blood pressure and (b) body weight are shown. The data was presented as the mean±SD. (n=6 rats per group) p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 compared with the NS group; p <0.05 and p <0.01 compared with the HS group.
