SFI regulates expression of TGF-β1, Smad2, Smad3, and Smad7 mRNA in rat hearts. Notes. The relative levels of cardiac TGF-β1 (a), Smad2 (b), Smad3 (c), and Smad7 (d) mRNA were assessed by real-time PCR. Results were normalized to GAPDH. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (each group, n = 3). ∗∗P < 0.01 compared with the sham group; #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared with the HF model group. SFI, Shenfu injection; HF, heart failure; SD, standard deviation; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-beta 1.
