Figure 3

The effect of QSYQ on rat HW/BW. (a) Representative transverse heart slice from Control 4W group (a1), DOX 4W + NS group (a2), and DOX 4W + QSYQ group (a3). Myocardial tissues of rat were sampled in cross-sections 5 mm in thickness throughout the left and right ventricles. Sections were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Transverse sections were cut at 5 μm thickness. (b) The statistical results of HW/BW in Control 4W group ( ), DOX 4W + NS group ( ), and DOX 4W + QSYQ group ( ). The data are presented as mean ± S.E. * versus Control 4W group; # versus DOX 4W + NS group.
