Sirius red stain for collagen. To evaluate collagen deposition in the experimental groups, heart sections were stained with Sirius red and fast green. Representative sections are shown from control animals (a) and 7-days AngII-exposed animals (b). Collagen in most afflicted areas of the heart sections was quantified using image analysis software (c), *P < 0.05. Images were captured at 10×.
