Eight weeks of high salt diet increased interstitial fibrosis while irbesartan or ramipril treatment limited interstitial fibrosis. (A) Representative left ventricular (LV) tissues stained with Picrosirius red (presented at a magnification of X 10). (B) Quantitative morphometric analysis of interstitial fibrosis. (n=5 in each group). * p<0.05 versus RS mice and † p<0.05 versus HS mice.
