Table 1. Changes of ratio of collagen area and type I/III collagen in the infarct border zone in rats with AMI of each group.
Groups | n | Collagen area in infarction area (Masson 100 ×) | Type I/III collagen (Sirius Red 100 ×) |
MI+XGM | 13 | 47.88 ± 6.23 | 2.25 ± 0.26 |
MI+XGH | 12 | 25.72 ± 4.18## | 4.87 ± 0.31 |
MI+C | 12 | 28.61 ± 10.38## | 0.61 ± 0.39## |
MI+C+XGM | 13 | 30.01 ± 8.34# | 4.81 ± 0.24 |
Sham | 14 | 8.42 ± 9.70 | 0.85 ± 0.25 |
MI | 11 | 44.54 ± 10.91* | 1.63 ± 0.16* |
Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the Sham group; #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared with the MI group. AMI: acute myocardial infarction; MI+C: carvedilol group; MI+C+XGM: medium-dose of XG + carvedilol group; MI+XGH: high-dose of XG group; MI+XGM: medium-dose of XG group; XG: Xinfuli granule group.
