FIGURE 5.
Long-term volume loading does not induce myocardial fibrosis. (A,B) mRNA levels of Col1a for both ventricles. (C) Protein levels of RV collagen 1. (D,E) Results of fibrosis quantification on Masson’s trichrome stainings, expressed as percentage blue-stained area. (F) Representative examples of Masson’s trichrome fibrosis stainings. White bars represent 200 μm, and black bars represent 4 mm. (G) Representative examples of Sirius red fibrosis stainings. White bars represent 200 μm, and black bars represent 4 mm. * represents significantly different from control, and bar represents significantly different between ACS groups.
