Figure 8

Representative pressure–volume loops during preload reduction before and after I/R in diabetic rats. The PV loops are derived from left ventricalar pressure (LVP) versus left ventricular volume (LVV) in the cardiac cycle diagram by transiently compressing the abdominal inferior vena cava before and after I/R. A-C, baseline PV loops before I/R; D-F, PV loops after I/R. Control (A, n = 16; and D, n = 6); diabetic rats administered vehicle (STZ-vehicle; B, n = 13; E, n = 6), diabetic rats administered CAPA (STZ-CAPA; C, n = 6; F, n = 5).
