Left ventricle wall fibrosis. (A-E) representative images of myocardium at ×400 magnification, stained with Masson's Trichrome. Blue color indicates collagen fibers (black arrow). (A) control, (B) LPS, (C) LPS + NS 100 mg/kg, (D) LPS + NS 200 mg/kg, (E) LPS + NS 400 mg/kg, (F) NS treatment caused a significant decrease in collagen deposition in left ventricle wall. * P < 0.05 compared to control and LPS + NS 100 mg/kg, ** P < 0.01 compared to control, LPS + NS 200 and 400 mg/kg, # P < 0.05 compared to other groups, $ P < 0.05 compared to other groups except control.
