Echocardiographic parameters. Shown are the results of the serial echocardiographic measurements on mice following transverse aortic banding (TAB) or sham surgery and subsequent treatment with saline or parathyroid hormone (PTH). Mice of the TAB/Saline group are represented with open circles (n = 6) and mice of the TAB/PTH group are represented with closed circles (n = 4). Factional shortening (FS), leftventricular posterior wall thickness at systole (LVPWs), and leftventricular internal dimension at systole (LVIDs) are presented. FS and LVPWs were significantly reduced in mice of the TAB/PTH group compared to mice in the TAB/Saline group, whereas, LVIDs was significantly increased in mice of the TAB/PTH group compared to mice of the TAB/Saline group. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05.
