Figure 7
Representative photomicrographs of H/E staining of LV tissue (a–d): (a) cross LV section of CTRL, (b) cross LV section of PCOS, (c) longitudinal LV section of CTRL, and (d) longitudinal LV section of PCOS. Morphometrical parameters of LV (e–g): (e) cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes (μm2), (f) longitudinal section diameter (μm), and (g) LV wall thickness (μm). Data are presented as . Statistical significance at the level of between the CTRL and PCOS. Statistical significance at the level of between the CTRL and PCOS ( rats per group).
