The expression and quantification of α-MHC, Col I, and Col III protein in left ventricular of SHRs. versus the sham group (n = 5) at the same time. (d) Left ventricular mass index measurement in SDs. versus the control group (n = 5), sham group (n = 5), and 2K1C plus RDN group (n = 5); ^§ versus the 2K1C group (n = 5); ^# versus the 2K1C group. (d) Cardiomyocytes stained with H&E in SDs. (e) Cardiomyocytes stained with H&E in SDs. (f) The protein expression and quantification of α-MHC, Col I, and Col III protein in left ventricular of SDs. versus the control group, sham group, and 2K1C plus RDN group; ^# versus the 2K1C group.
