Pterostilbene and allopurinol improve myocardial injury in fructose-fed rats. Serum levels of CK-MB (a), cTn-T (b), CK (c), and MB (d) were measured, respectively (n = 8). HW/BW (e) was measured (n = 8). Histology of paraffin-embedded heart sections in different groups stained with ANP ((f), red) by immunofluorescence analysis (scale bar 75 μm), HE ((g), scale bar 100 μm), and Masson trichrome ((h), scale bar 100 μm) by immunohistochemistry analysis, respectively. Heart levels of hydroxyproline (i) and hyaluronic acid (j) were measured (n = 8). Histology of frozen heart sections stained with α-SMA (green) and FSP-1 (red) ((k), scale bar 50 μm), TGF-β1 ((l), red, scale bar 50 μm), and CTGF ((m), red, scale bar 75 μm) by immunofluorescence analysis, respectively. Herein, DAPI was used for staining nuclei, and merged views are shown in the right panels. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M.##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001vs. normal animal control group; ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, and ∗∗∗P < 0.001vs. fructose-vehicle animal group.
