Evaluation
of the therapeutic effect of novel drug-loaded systems
in MI-induced cardiac insufficiency in mice. (a) Experimental protocol
and dosing protocol of MI-induced mouse cardiac insufficiency model.
(b) Representative plot of mouse cardiac ultrasound 30 days after
the construction of the MI model. (c) Left ventricular ejection fraction
quantified by echocardiography. (d) Left ventricular minor axis contraction
(mean ± SD, n = 6). (e) Quantification of fibrotic
area in the sham group, MI model group, and MI with different treatment
group. (g) Representative cross sections from remote LV stained with
Masson; scale bar = 100 μm. (f) Statistical plot of changes
in cardiomyocytes area stained with WGA (mean ± SD, n = 6) and (h) representative LV cross-section stained with WGA, scale
bar = 20 μm. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA,
Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
