Effect of Verapamil, an L-Type Calcium Channel Inhibitor, on Caveolin-3 Expression in Septic Mouse Hearts

Figure 3

Immunolocalization of caveolin-3 in cardiac tissue 24 hours after sepsis induction. (a, b) Show the immunostaining of CAV3 on cardiomyocytes (sham and SH+VP) bounded by the plasma membrane. (c) Represents the scattered staining of CAV3 in the cytoplasm and cell membrane of septic cardiomyocytes (SSI group). (d) The septic mice treated with verapamil (SSI+VP) showed immunostaining of CAV3 more related to that observed in the control groups (sham and SH+VP). Scale bars indicate 50 μm.
