RT-PCR of LV Myocardium on Day 90 Following DCM Induction. The mRNA expressions of A) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, * p < 0.0001 between the indicated groups; B) interleukin (IL)-10, * p < 0.0001 between the indicated groups; C) endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), * < 0.0008 between the indicated groups; D) caspase 3, * p < 0.0004 between the indicated groups; E) Bax, * p < 0.0002 between the indicated groups; F) Bcl-2, * p < 0.0001 between the indicated groups; G) IL-8/Gro, * p < 0.0001 between the indicated groups; H) stromal cell-derived factor(SDF)-1α, * p < 0.0001 between the indicated groups; I) peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ coactivator(PGC)-1α, * p < 0.002 between the indicated groups. All symbols (*, †, ‡, ¶) in A) to I) indicate significant difference (at 0.05 level) by Tukey multiple comparison procedure (n = 8 in each group).
