6-shogaol administration significantly suppressed cardiac fibrosis in TAC mice. (A) Representative images of the MT-stained perivascular fibrosis area of left ventricle myocardium in sham and TAC mice. Scale bar: 50 μm. Magnification: ×200. (B) For ten mice, using at least five intramyocardial coronary arteries from each mouse, the area of perivascular fibrosis in the left ventricle was measured. Results are shown as the mean ± SEM of the ten experiments. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to examine the fibrosis-related gene expression levels of α-SMA (C), periostin (D), Col1a1 (E), collagen3a1 (Col3a1) (F), fibronectin (G), and TGF-β (H). Results are shown as the mean ± SEM of ten individual experiments.
