Figure 1.

FABP4 expression is elevated in cardiac fibrosis mice. Mice were infused with Ang II (2000 ng/kg/min) for 4 weeks. (a) Representative images of FABP4 in the ventricular muscle of Ang-II-induced mice by immunohistochemistry. Magnification: ×200. (b) RT-qPCR detects FABP4 mRNA levels in the ventricular muscle of mice with and without Ang II infusion. (c) Representative protein bands of FABP4 in Ang-II-induced mice model. (d) Quantification of FABP4 protein levels (n=8 in each group). Data are presented as mean±SD. ***P<0.001 vs saline group
