A, Representative Masson trichrome‐stained section at the end of the study. Bar = 2 mm. B, Western blot. When compared with vehicle‐treated infarcted rats, IPE‐treated infarcted rats had significantly higher GPR120 levels in the remote zone by quantitative analysis. Relative abundance was obtained by normalizing the density of GPR120 protein against that of β‐actin. C, Immunohistochemical staining of GPR120. GPR120 was observed to be localized at cell surface membrane. Bar = 50 μm. D, RT‐PCR analysis of left ventricular (LV) GPR120. Each mRNA was corrected for an mRNA level of cyclophilin. Results are mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The number of animals in each group is indicated in parentheses. *P < .05 compared with sham; ^† P < .05 compared with the vehicle‐treated infarcted group
