Phenotype of heart. a Gross appearance of a representative heart from each group. HFD induced visually cardiac hypertrophy compared to CND. Excised hearts were arrested in diastole with 10 % KCl. b Gross heart weight and heart/BW ratio revealed significant increase with HFD compared to CND. Cardiospecific CD36 inhibition significantly decreased heart/BW ratio. BW: body weight. Values are mean ± SD, N = 8 for each group. a, vs. N-mock; b, vs. N-CD36; c, vs. O-mock; (*) P < 0.05
