Figure 4From: Intra-renal delivery of mesenchymal stem cells attenuates myocardial injury after reversal of hypertension in porcine renovascular disease MSC ameliorated myocardial oxidative stress, remodeling, and fibrosis. A) Myocardial production of superoxide anion, detected by DHE (top), and its quantification (bottom). B) Left ventricular sections stained with H & E (top) and quantification of myocyte cross-sectional area (bottom). C) Representative staining and quantification of Sirius red and trichrome. *P <0.05 versus normal, †P <0.05 versus RVH + PTRA + MSC. DHE, dihydroethidium; MSC, mesenchymal stem cells; PTRA, percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty; RVH, renovascular hypertension.Back to article page
