Aerobic Exercise-Assisted Cardiac Regeneration by Inhibiting Tryptase Release in Mast Cells after Myocardial Infarction

Figure 4

(a) Shows correlations between cardiac fibrosis and total mast cell density. (b) Shows correlations between cardiac fibrosis value and mast cell degranulation. The solid line represents the best fit of linear regression in sham groups, while the dotted line shows the best fit of linear regression in infarction groups. Linear regression is presented by solid line and indicated the direct relationship of the cardiac fibrosis value and total MC density and degranulated MC in the sham groups ( and , respectively). But there was no correlation in the infarction groups ( and ).
