Cardiovascular Protective Effects of Salvianic Acid A on db/db Mice with Elevated Homocysteine Level

Left ventricular mass (mg) at the end of experiment as estimated by echocardiography. The LV mass in the non-DM, DM (methionine + SAA), and DM (SAA) groups after 8 wks of intervention period was significantly lower when compared to that in the DM (control) group, suggesting that the SAA treatment could delay the progress of the diabetic left ventricular hypertrophy.
