Effect of different treatments on protein expression of TGF-β1, CTGF, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 in the skeletal muscle fibrosis rats. The protein expression of TGF-β1, CTGF, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 (a) was investigated by western blot. The intensity (b–e) was quantified by ImageJ version 1.51n. vs. control. and (n = 4) vs. model.
