Comparison of Myocardial Remodeling between Cryoinfarction and Reperfused Infarction in Mice
Figure 3
Macrophage density in cryoinfarction and reperfused infarction. Representative F4/80 staining for macrophages (black-stained cells) in left ventricular wall (pink eosin counterstaining) 7 days after (a) reperfused infarction (MI) and (b) cryoinfarction (cMI). Elastase staining showed lack of macrophage activity after 7 days in (c) MI in contrast to (d) ongoing activity (black staining) in cMI (pink eosin counterstaining). Comparison of macrophage cell density in (e) infarcted area and (f) noninfarcted area in both models. Scale bar (a)-(b): 75 μm, (c)-(d): 100 μm; *.
