Fig. 4. Analysis for cardiac expression of pro-fibrogenic proteins (TGF-β1, p-p38, p-MK2, p38, and MK2) and ECM proteins (Col-I, Col-III, and α-SMA) in D-gal-induced aging rats.
Values (n = 3) were presented as mean ± standard deviation. D-gal, D-galactose; Veh group, vehicle control group; Aging group, D-gal-induced aging group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared to the Aging group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 compared to the Veh group.
