Fig. 6From: Expression of the SARS-CoV-2 receptorACE2 in human heart is associated with uncontrolled diabetes, obesity, and activation of the renin angiotensin systemBody weight, heart weight, fractional shortening ACE2 and genes effecting ACE2 trafficking in mice treated (db/db) with antidiabetic drugs. Metformin (Met), Dapagliflozin (DAPA), Dulaglutide (Dula) were administered concomitantly with Ang. a Body weight, b heart weight and (c) fractional shortening are shown as mean ± SEM. mRNA expression levels of (d) ACE2, (e) ACE2 (f) TMPRSS2 (g) Furin (h) ADAM10, (I) ADAM17 in db/db (db) hearts following Ang infusion and anti-diabetic drugs. Values are shown as mean ± SEM P value evaluated with paired Student’s t-test, *p < 0.05**p < 0.001vs WT #P < 0.05 vs db/db miceBack to article page
