From: Canola oil rich in oleic acid improves diastolic heart function in diet-induced obese rats
Effect of different dietary oils on cardiac structure in diet-induced obese rats. Echocardiographic data were obtained at 12 weeks. OP L obese prone, high-fat: lard; OP HC obese prone, high-fat: high oleic canola; OP C obese prone, high-fat: conventional canola; OP C/F obese prone, high-fat: canola/flax; OP SB obese prone, high-fat: soybean; OP SF obese prone, high-fat: safflower; SD CC Sprague–Dawley, control chow. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 4–11). a LVPWDd Left ventricular posterior wall diameter at diastole, b IVSDd Left ventricular internal diameter at diastole, c LVIDd Interventricular septal diameter at diastole. *p < 0.05 vs SD CC
