Figure 3. BSE and SFN prevented diabetes-induced cardiac fibrosis.
Sirius red staining of collagen (A,B), real-time PCR of collagen-I (C) and Western blot of CTGF (D) were detected to estimate the cardiac fibrotic response. Data are presented as the mean ± S.D. n = 6. *P < 0.05 vs. WT; #P < 0.05 vs. db/db.
