Ghrelin Ameliorates Angiotensin II-Induced Myocardial Fibrosis by Upregulating Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma in Young Male Rats

Figure 1

The effect of different concentrations of Ghrelin on collagen I, collagen III, and PPAR-γ protein expression in Ang II-infused rats. (a) Collagen I, collagen III, and PPAR-γ protein expression were assayed by immunoblot. (b, c, and d) Quantitative analysis of (a). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 each per group, p<0.05 versus Control; ^#p<0.05 versus Ang II.
