From: DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin ameliorates cardiovascular injury in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats independently of blood glucose and blood pressure

Figure 2

Effect of linagliptin on cardiac weight (A) and echocardiographic parameters ((B)-(G))of high salt-loaded DS rats. Each value represents mean ± SEM (n = 7 in Normal Na, n = 11 in Veh, n = 11 in Lin). Abbreviation used are the same as in Figure 1. LV mass index, left ventricular mass index; IVSd, interventricular septum diastolic wall thickness; LVPw, left ventricular posterior diastolic wall thickness; LVDd, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVDs, left ventricular end-systolic diameter; FS, fractional shortening.
