Effects of liraglutide and telmisartan on the accumulation of macrophages and the expression TGF-β1. (A) The numbers of macrophages were determined by positively stained cells (arrows) using immunohistochemistry. (B) TGF-β1 expression in the intermyocardium was determined using immunohistochemistry and calculated as MOD in the tissue section (magnification: 200; scale bars: 100 μm). (C) Protein level of TGF-β1 was detected by Western blot assay. Values are mean±SEM (n=6/group). *p<0.05 AAC vs Sham; #p<0.05 Lira or Telmi vs AAC.

Abbreviations: AAC, abdominal aortic constriction; MOD, mean optical density.
