Cardiac function and structure were measured by (A) ejection fraction, (B) left ventricle mass, (C) end diastolic diameter, (D) end diastolic volume, and (E) time to exhaustion in exercise test in Chow-fed (n = 12), Sham (n = 9), Sham-MI (n = 6), +BAT (n = 10) and +BAT-MI (n = 5) mice that had EF over 35%. Data are presented as mean + S.E.M. One-way ANOVA was used with Tukey’s multiple comparisons tests. * represents p < 0.05 compared to Sham mice; # represents p < 0.05 compared to BAT-MI mice, and $ represents p < 0.05 compared to Chow-fed mice.
