(a) Representative photomicrographs of cross-sections of the left-ventricle showing macrophage infiltration (ED1-positive cells stained dark brown) (magnification ×200). (b) Quantitative analyses of macrophage infiltration per field indicating that in ZFs the number of ED1-positive dark-brown cells (macrophage infiltration) was markedly elevated as compared to ZL control but interestingly was significantly attenuated by hemin therapy. Bars represent means ± SEM; rats per group (# versus all groups).
