Fig 3. Right ventricular hypertrophy is not attenuated by TEMPOL.

Fig 3

Representative AZAN trichrome-stained whole heart sections (A) and higher magnification images of the right ventricle (B) from rats treated with vehicle, SU5416, and/or TEMPOL and exposed to normoxia or hypoxia. AZAN trichrome shows cell nuclei (dark red), collagen (blue) and orange-red in cytoplasm. C) Summary data showing Fulton’s index [ratio of RV to left ventricular plus septal (LV + S) heart weight] Values are means ± SE; n = animals/group (indicated in bars). *P < 0.05 vs. the normoxia group; # P < 0.05 vs. the corresponding SU5416 vehicle group; analyzed with multiple two-way ANOVA and individual groups compared with the Student-Newman-Keuls test.
