    Summary
    Upon further addition of rapamycin and AICAR, both cardiac functional indices and protein expression levels displayed trends opposite to those in the SOR+high-COS group(P<0.05).

    Summary · context
    Concurrently, male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to six groups(10 per group): ctrl group, SOR group, SOR + low-COS group, SOR + high-COS group, SOR + high-COS + rapamycin group, and SOR + high-COS + AICAR group.
    Summary · context
    Animal experiments exhibited a similar trend: the SOR group showed significant differences in multiple cardiac functional parameters and protein expression levels compared with the ctrl group, which were ameliorated by COS treatment.
