Cardiac left ventricular expression level of CILP1, CTGF, Col1a1, TGFβ1 and TGFβ3 in sham animals (C, n = 6) and in the infarct tissue (MI) and remote area (RA) of animals at 5 days (n = 4) and 28 days (n = 7) after induction of a myocardial infarction (MI). Data were normalized to the housekeeping gene Cyclophilin-A using the comparative threshold cycle (Ct) method by calculating 2ΔCt. Data are expressed relative to the sham animals as mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
