Ketogenic diet contributed to hypertension and cardiac remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats. a Ketogenic diet (KD) increased the intramyocardial β-hydroxybutyrate content. b systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP). c heart rate. d and body weight. e were measured. f KD feeding increased ration of heart weight-to-body weight of spontaneously hypertensive rats. g Cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area in left ventricular tissue was measured by WGA. Scale bar, 50 μm. The statistical results were shown in H. Values are the mean ± SEM. n = 4 for each ND group. n = 8 for each KD group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
