Omega-3 FA ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy induced by pressure overload. (a) Body weight (BW), heart weight (HW) and HW to BW ratio before and 4 weeks (wks) after TAC surgery with or without Omega-3 EE. n = 11–18. *p < 0.05. (b) Cardiomyocyte surface area (CSA) was evaluated by wheat germ agglutinin stain. n = 5–12. * p < 0.05. (c) Percent fibrosis in the heart at 4 weeks after operation was evaluated by Elastica van Gieson stain. n = 4–9. *p < 0.05.
