Figure 6From: Labeling galectin-3 for the assessment of myocardial infarction in ratsTotal collagen deposition and collagen composition in the myocardium. (a) Total collagen deposition in the myocardium. Values are given as percent of area stained (mean ± SD). *p < 0.05 vs. control, §p < 0.0001 vs. control. (b) Collagen composition in the three heart regions. MI remote (R), MI border (B), and apical/infarct (A). Values are given as square micrometer stained (mean ± SD). 2 W-MI, myocardial infarction 2 weeks old; 4 W-MI, myocardial infarction 4 weeks old.Back to article page
