Fig. 1. ZNE induces myocardial hypertrophy in rats.

Fig. 1

Rats were intraperitoneally injected with various doses of ZNE once a day for 4 weeks. a Body weight changes of rats were recorded. b, c The changes in HW/BW and HW/TL were measured and counted. d Systolic and diastolic functions of the heart in rats were observed by echocardiography. e, f EF and FS of heart in rats were calculated. g, i LVPW thickness and IVS thickness of heart in rats were measured during diastole. h, j LVPW thickness and IVS thickness were measured during systole. k H&E staining (×100) of cross-sections of ventricles of rats was observed under a microscope, and the average area of a single cardiomyocyte was analyzed statistically. The red area represented cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes while the blue area represented nuclei of cardiomyocytes. Scale bar: 100 μm. n = 5 rats. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs Control.
