Systolic function after diet feeding with and without sevoflurane exposure. Fractional shortening (a) and fractional area change (b) in rats after 4 and 8 weeks of control diet (CD), western diet (WD), or diet reversion (REV) feeding. Fractional shortening (c) and fractional area change (d) during baseline and sevoflurane exposure in rats after 8 weeks of control diet (CD), western diet (WD), or diet reversion (REV) feeding. Data are mean ± SD, , two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analyses, versus CD, versus WD, and versus baseline.
