TGF-β inhibition by recombinant receptor TGF-β II decreases collagen gel contraction and the presence of myofibroblasts induced by ethanol treatment. Panel A shows the quantification of contraction ratio in untreated and treated fibroblast seeded collagen gels. Panel B exhibits the graphical quantification of the number of myofibroblasts in treated cultures compared to untreated controls. Each value represents the mean ± SEM, n=3-6. # p<0.05 comparing to 0 EtOH control and *p<0.05 comparing treatments of SB 431542 to conditions with no treatment.
