Does diabetes differentially affect vascular and myocardial contractile function in male versus female rats?
Does diabetes differentially affect vascular and myocardial contractile function in male versus female rats?
Diabetes induces similar vascular contractile dysfunction in both genders but exhibits gender-specific differences in myocardial contractile dysfunction in a rat model.
