Echocardiographic assessment of cardiac function was evaluated at the end of treatment. WD induces diastolic dysfunction in WD mice. Bar graphs show (a) MPI, (b) isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT), (c) Vp, and (d) /Vp ratio, an index of LV filling pressure. Values are means ± SE. compared to CD at the end of experiment; compared to WD at the end of experiment.
