Sex-Dependent Effects of Dietary Genistein on Echocardiographic Profile and Cardiac GLUT4 Signaling in Mice

Figure 1

Effect of genistein treatment on whole heart surface area and left ventricle surface area in intact male and female mice. (a) Representative histological section of cardiac tissue. This image is from a 0 G fed male. Right and left ventricle spaces are indicated. (b) Average whole heart surface area. –6/group. (c) Average left ventricle surface area. –6/group. 0 GM: genistein-free fed males; 600 GM: genistein-fed males; 0 GF: genistein-free fed females; 600 GF: genistein-fed females. The genistein-free fed groups (0 G) are represented by open bars, and genistein-fed groups (600 G) are represented by the solid bars. Values are reported as mean ± SD. # denotes genistein-mediated difference, .
