Figure 2

LQF reduces myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy. (a) Representative image of H&E staining showing the size of mouse myocytes (the scale bar of the picture above is 1 mm, and the scale bar of the picture below is 100 μm) (n = 3). (b) Representative Masson’s trichrome staining of the heart sections (the scale of the picture above is 1 mm, and the scale of the picture below is 100 μm) (n = 3). (c) Representative images of WGA staining of heart sections (magnification 200×) (n = 3). (d) Quantitative analysis of the fibrotic area. (e) Mean cardiomyocytes area. vs. the sham group, vs. the model group, vs. the perindopril group, and vs. the perindopril group.
