  1. The data are presented as mean ± SD. n = 6 for NC group, n = 6 for DC group, n = 6 for D + HIIT group and n = 6 for D + CU group. One rat was excluded from NC group due to a procedural error. 4 rats were excluded from diabetic groups because they were not diabetic
  2. NC non-diabetic control, DC diabetic control, D + HIIT diabetic-high-intensity interval training, D + CU diabetic-curcumin, LVEDD left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LVESD left ventricular end-systolic diameter, EF (ejection fraction)
  3. *: significantly difference vs. NC
  4. #: significantly difference vs. DC
