Table 1 Glucometry and gravimetry data obtained at 8 weeks of diabetes

From: Cardiac dysfunction in the diabetic rat: quantitative evaluation using high resolution magnetic resonance imaging

Rat group (n)

Plasma glucose (mg/dL)

HbA1c (%)

Heart mass (mg)

Body mass (g)

Heart to body mass ratio (mg/g)

Control (6)

110 ± 15

4.7 ± 0.2

1,305 ± 80

Diabetic (6)

545 ± 45*

13* #

1,132 ± 81

292 ± 35*

3.9 ± 0.5*

  1. * P < 0.05 when diabetic rat values were compared to controls.
  2. # – since all diabetic rats had HbA1c levels higher than detectable by the method used, we used the highest detectable value (13%) for statistical purposes.
