Fifteen months of high-fructose feeding induces cardiac remodelling and apoptosis. (a) Heart to body weight ratio (HW/BW × 100%). (b) Representative HE-stained left ventricular sections (scale bar = 250 μm). (c) Quantitative analysis of cross-sectional areas (CSA). (d) Representative Masson’s trichrome-stained left ventricular sections (scale bar = 250 μm). (e) Representative Western blots and quantitative analysis for Collagen I and Collagen III protein expression in the myocardium. GAPDH was used as the internal control. (f) Representative Western blots and quantitative analysis for Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression in the myocardium. GAPDH was used as the internal control. Results are means ± SEM. A of <0.05 was considered significant.
