a Experimental design. b Body weight over time (normal chow: n = 10, Tamogi-take mushroom: n = 11). c Representative M mode images of echocardiography. d Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd) (mm) (left), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVDs) (mm) (middle), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (right). e Representative Pulse Wave (PW) echocardiography of Mitral valve inflow (upper) and Tissue Doppler (lower) images. f E/A (left) and E/e’ (right) ratios in indicated groups (n = 10–11 per group). g Vasorelaxation responses (%) ex vivo to acetylcholine (Ach) (n = 8–10 per group). Plots for (d, f) present all data points, median and ± SD. Statistical significance was determined by a two-sided unpaired Student’s t test.
