Figure 4

Postischemic myocardial interstitial fibrosis was prevented by OSM administration. (a) Representative images of Masson’s trichrome-stained heart sections in all groups of mice 14 days after operation. Bar: 50 μm. (b) Quantitative analysis of myocardial interstitial fibrosis in all groups. (c) mRNA fold change of the expression of Collagen I. (d) mRNA fold change of the expression of Collagen III. The values are means ± SD. versus WT group, versus WT + MI group, and versus Oβ−/−S group. in each group.
