C: control group; RES: resveratrol group; ISO: isoproterenol-treated group; ISO + RES: ISO + resveratrol group. EF: ejection fraction; LVESV: left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVEDV: left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVIDd: diastolic left ventricular inner diameter; LVIDs: systolic left-ventricular inner diameter. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM. # versus control. versus ISO.
