Figure 6. Assessment of heart function of MI model rats transplanted with young or old MSCs.

Figure 6

A. The heart functions of MI model rats were evaluated by echocardiography and hemodynamics examination. LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; LVFS: Left ventricular fractional shortening; LVEDP: Left ventricular end diastolic pressure. B. Capillary density in the infarcted myocardium was measured by Immunohistochemistry. Capillaries were indicated by CD31 stain. Representative images and statistics were shown. Scale bar: 100 µm. * p<0.05 compared with PBS group; ** p<0.01 compared with PBS group; # p<0.05 compared with Old donor group; ## p<0.01 compared with Old donor group.
