Effects of either ALC or OXF on hemodynamic parameters in the STZ-diabetic rats.

All values are expressed as means ± SE. HR, basal heart rate (beats min−1); CO, cardiac output (mL s−1); CI, cardiac index (L min−1 m−2); MAP, mean aortic pressure (mmHg). NC, normal controls; NC+ALC, NC treated with ALC; NC+OXF, NC treated with OXF; DM, STZ-diabetic rats; DM+ALC, DM treated with ALC; DM+OXF, DM treated with OXF; ALC, acetyl-L-carnitine; OXF, oxfenicine.†Statistical difference (P‡Statistical difference (P
