Effect of EGCG on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and survival rate in TAC mice. (A) Wheat germ agglutinin staining was performed to detect (B) cardiomyocyte area. Scale bar, 50 µm. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. *P<0.01 vs. Sham; #P<0.01 vs. TAC. n=6/group. (C) Survival rate of TAC mice treated with EGCG or Veh. EGCG, epigallocatechin gallate; TAC, transverse aortic constriction; Veh, vehicle.
