Effects of Sunitinib, L-carnitine and their combination on histopathological changes in cardiac tissues stained with Masson Trichrome (MT) connective tissue stain. a Heart from control rat showing normal myocardial fibers (× 400). b Heart of rat treated with SUN alone showing marked fibrosis (blue colored fibers) with extension to interstitial tissue between myofibers (B1, × 600) and interstitial fibrosis characterized by the presence of many “blue colored” connective tissue fibers, arrowhead, (B2, × 600). c Heart of rat treated with l-carnitine alone showing normal myocardial fibers with only thin blue-colored collagen fibers, arrowhead, (× 400). d Heart of rat treated with SUN plus l-carnitine showing marked reduction in the amount of connective tissue fibers (× 400)
