Adipose tissue-specific Adipsin overexpression inhibits cardiac hypertrophy and improves cardiac function. A Representative echocardiographic images of cardiac diastolic function. B Quantitative analysis of E/A ratio. C Representative echocardiographic images of cardiac systolic function. D–G Quantitative analysis of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), left ventricular systolic internal dimension (LVIDs), and left ventricular diastolic internal dimension (LVIDd). H Ratio of heart weight (mg) to tibia length (mm). I Masson trichrome staining of cardiac tissue. Scale bar = 100 μm. J Quantification of the Masson staining density in I. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis
