Figure 3

Effects of Eva1a deficiency on cardiac hypertrophy. (a) The hearts of Eva1a deficient mice were enlarged on gross morphology. Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of heart sections. Scale bar=1 mm or 50 μm. (b) The ratio of heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) did not significantly differ between Eva1a-deficient mice and the other mice (**P<0.01, n=9). (c) The ratio of lung weight to body weight (LW/BW) was significantly different between Eva1a-deficient mice and the other mice (*P<0.05, n=9). (d) Measurements of two-dimensional cardiomyocyte cross-sectional areas (*P<0.05, n=4). (e and f) Analysis of hypertrophy markers Bnp (e) and Anp (f) by qRT-PCR (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, n=5)
