Qiliqiangxin (QLQX) decreases cardiac fibrosis.

(A), QLQX attenuates cardiac fibrosis. ***, P < 0.001. n = 6 per group. (B), QLQX decreases mRNA levels of collagen I, collagen III and α-SMA. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. n = 6 per group. (C), QLQX decreases the expression level of TGF-β1 and increases that of Smad7. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. n = 3 per group. (D), QLQX decreases the expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9. *, P < 0.05. n = 3 per group. Cropped blots were used here and the full-length gels were included in the supplementary information.
