Figure 6

(A, B) Statistical analysis of RVSP (A) and heart rate (B) in mice treated with the solvent DMSO or FR (10 µg/mouse i.p., Monday to Friday) during exposure to Nx (DMSO: n = 8, FR: n = 7) or SuHx, (10% O2, DMSO: n = 10, FR: n = 10) for 3 weeks. (C, D) H&E-staining of lung sections from SuHx-DMSO (C) and SuHx-FR-treated mice (D), scale bar: 20 µm. (E, F) Statistical analysis of vascular wall thickness in mice treated with the solvent DMSO or FR during exposure to Nx (DMSO: n = 8, FR: n = 7) or SuHx (DMSO: n = 10, FR: n = 10) (E) and ratio of the media/CSA of small (30–50 µm), medium-sized (50–70 µm) and large (70–150 µm) PAs of mice exposed to SuHx for 3 weeks (DMSO: n = 10, FR: n = 10) (F). (G, H) WGA staining of transversal heart sections from right ventricles of SuHx-DMSO (G) and SuHx-FR-treated mice (H), scale bar: 20 µm. (I) Statistical analysis of right ventricular cardiomyocyte cross sectional area in mice treated with DMSO or FR during exposure to Nx (DMSO: n = 8, FR: n = 7) or SuHx (DMSO: n = 10, FR: n = 8). Data information: Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. (A, B, E, I) One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post hoc test, (F) Two-way ANOVA, Bonferroni post hoc test. Source data are available online for this figure.
