Attenuation of ROS/Chloride Efflux-Mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation Contributes to Alleviation of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy in Rats after Sleeve Gastrectomy
Figure 2
SG abrogates cardiac dysfunction and improves myocardial metabolism in rats with DCM. (a) Echocardiography: (a1) representative images of 2D echocardiograms; (a2) M-mode echocardiograms; (a3) mitral inflow shown by pulse-wave Doppler echocardiograms. Echocardiographic measurements including (b) LVEDd, (c) LVEF, (d) FS, (e) ratio of E/A, and (f) IVRT. (g) Representative transverse, sagittal, and coronal axis images of the heart showing 18F-FDG distribution via PET-scans. (h) Standard uptake value (SUV). Data are presented as . CON vs. SHAM; ## SG vs. SHAM; && CON vs. SG. in each group.
