CaMKII agonist blocks the protective effects of κ-OR agonist on myocardium in HF rats. (a) Pathological changes in myocardial tissues observed by HE staining (μm). (b) The tissue fibrosis was examined by Masson staining (μm). (c) The myocardial apoptosis rate was detected by TUNEL staining (μm). (d) The natriuretic peptide contents were determined by ELISA; .
