Figure 6. Left ventricle fibrosis was attenuated in females versus males following MI.

Figure 6

(A) Left ventricular (LV) fibrosis was measured 60 days following MI (small infarcts) in LV sections from male and female hearts stained with Masson’s Trichrome. Scale bar = 1 mm. LV interstitial fibrosis is shown by high magnification in both the remote area (R) and the border-zone (BZ) (B) LV fibrosis was quantified and expressed as the fibrosis area/total area of the whole ventricle or the infarct zone and spared myocardium. Black bars represent males and white bars represent females: the data are presented as mean ± SEM for the number of mice shown. Groups were compared by two-way ANOVA with a Bonferonni post-test to determine the contribution of sex or surgery.
