Long-term treatment of the diabetic inducible nitric oxide synthase knockout (iNOSKo) mice with decorin (DECO) increases the corporal smooth muscle cell (SMC)/collagen ratio. Top panel: representative pictures of Masson trichrome staining. iNOSKo+STZ; streptozotocin-injected iNOSKo mouse, untreated; iNOSKo+STZ+ALLO: iNOSKo+STZ treated with allopurinol. iNOSKo+STZ+DECO: iNOSKo+STZ treated with decorin. iNOSKo+STZ+MOL: iNOSKo+STZ treated with molsidomine. Bottom panel: quantitative image analysis for the SMC/collagen ratio expressed as means ± SEM; ***P < 0.001.
