Beneficial Effects of Qili Qiangxin Capsule on Lung Structural Remodeling in Ischemic Heart Failure via TGF-1/Smad3 Pathway
Figure 2
Effects of qili qiangxin (QL) on myocardial fibrosis in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF). Representative Masson Trichrome-stained left ventricular (LV) areas are shown. Blue areas indicate fibrotic staining. Fibrosis was measured in the whole LV section, and 5 sections for each heart were calculated ( versus the Sham group, versus the CHF group).
