Basic characteristics of mice. (A) Body weight (g), (B) Blood glucose (mmol/L), (C) Heart weight (g), (D) Left Ventricular (LV) weight (g), (E) Tibial length (mm), (F) Heart weight: Tibial length ratio (HW/TL; mg/mm), (G) LV weight to tibial length ratio (mg/mm) and (H) Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels at the end of the study. A high blood glucose reading was given a value of 33.3 mmol/L. A below detection reading for HbA1c levels was given a value of 4.0%. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ****P < 0.0001 as indicated. Bars represent mean ± SEM, with individual values plotted.
