Effect of SSYX on α-SMA, TGF-β1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 protein expression levels.

Notes: (A) Western blot analysis of the protein expression of α-SMA. SSYX reduced the protein level of α-SMA after MI. (B) Western blot analysis for the protein expression of TGF-β1. SSYX reduced the protein level of TGF-β1 after MI (P<0.05). (C) Western blots analysis of the protein expression of Smad3. SSYX had no effect on the protein level of Smad3 (P>0.05). (D) Western blot analysis of the protein expression of MMP-9. SSYX reduced the protein level of MMP-9 after MI (P<0.05). (E) Western blot analysis of the protein expression of TIMP-1. SSYX reduced the protein level of TIMP-1 after MI (P<0.05). *P<0.05 vs sham rats; #P<0.05 vs rats with MI.

Abbreviations: MI, myocardial infarction; SSYX, Shensong Yangxin.
