  1. A summary of the most relevant cardiac measurements that were obtained at 4 and 8 months of age using echocardiography. HR, Heart rate; LV, Left ventricle; LVEDD, LV end-diastolic diameters; LVESD, LV end-systolic diameters; PWT, End-diastolic LV posterior wall thickness; IVST, The thickness of the interventricular septum; Ao, Aorta; vel, velocity; EF, LV ejection fraction; FS, LV fractional shortening; Vp, Ao peak ejection vel.; and VTI, Ao outflow vel./time integral.
  2. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 6 in each group). *P < 0.05 vs. control group; #P <0.05 vs. LPS group.
