Figure 7From: Improvement of cardiac contractile function by peptide-based inhibition of NF-κB in the utrophin/dystrophin-deficient murine model of muscular dystrophyIndirect comparison of functional improvement of dko myocardium by NBD treatment shows that the functional improvement in baseline cardiac contractile force (4 Hz, optimal length, 37°C) resulted in forces that are comparable with age-matched C57BL/10 wild type muscles, and relatively exceed those assessed in mdx myocardium under identical experimental conditions.
