Protein levels in the anterior and posterior leaflets between annuloplasty (URA), combination of annuloplasty and papillary muscle approximation (URA+PMA), and papillary muscle approximation (PMA) compared with the sham group of animals. A, Procollagen 1 C‐terminal propeptide. B, Procollagen 1 N‐terminal propeptide. C, Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay results for plasma procollagen type 1 N‐terminal propeptide. D, Prolyl 4‐hydroxylase 1. E, Heat shock protein 47; (F) Lysyl oxidase. HSP47 indicates heat shock protein 47; LO, lysyl oxidase; P4HA1, prolyl 4 hydroxylase; PICP, procollagen‐1 terminal C‐peptide; PINP, procollagen‐1 terminal N‐peptide.
