Assessment of extracellular matrix synthesis. A) Elastica-van-Gieson staining of myocardial infarction at 1 week and B) at 6 weeks (scale bar is 50 μm). C) Comparison of Mean Red Intensity in EvG Staining of myocardial infarction after 1 (n = 9) and 6 (n = 12) weeks shows increase in extracellular matrix during progressive scar formation (p = 0.0014). D) Comparison of the ratio Stained Area/Area all ROI in EvG staining of myocardial infarction after 1 (n = 9) and 6 (n = 12) weeks similarly shows increase of extracellular matrix at 6 weeks post MI (p < 0.0001). * indicates p-value < 0.05.
