Ginsenoside Re Improves Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Fibrosis and Heart Failure in Rats

Figure 3

Effect of ginsenoside Re on cardiac function in isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis and heart failure in rats. (a) Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), (b) left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), (c) +dp/dt, and (d) −dp/dt. Data are the mean ± SD. Control group: n = 14; isoproterenol group: n = 12; ginsenoside Re (5 mg/kg) group: n = 12; ginsenoside Re (20 mg/kg) group: n = 12. ^##P < 0.01 compared with the control group. < 0.05 or < 0.01 compared with the isoproterenol group.
