Effects of liraglutide and telmisartan on the synthesis of collagens and tissue fibrosis after AAC. (A and B) Protein levels of collagens I and III were analyzed by Western blot assay. All bands were normalized by actin as illustrated in the bar graphs. (C) Interstitial and perivascular fibrosis in the myocardium was identified as collagen deposition shown as positive areas of blue staining using Masson’s trichrome method. All images were viewed under magnification 200 (scale bars: 100 μm). Values are mean±SEM (n=6/group). *p<0.05 AAC vs Sham; #p<0.05 Lira or Telmi vs AAC.

Abbreviation: AAC, abdominal aortic constriction.
