Effects of TBHQ treatment on TAC-induced cardiac remodeling.

(A–C) Echocardiography data showing changes in left ventricle end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), inter-ventricular septum end-diastolic thickness (IVSTd) and posterior wall end-diastolic thickness (PWTd) in sham, TAC, sham + TBHQ and TAC + TBHQ groups. (D) Original M-mode echocardiography images of heats from different groups. (E) Horizontal short axis plane sections of heart showing gross changes in the ventricular dimension and wall thickness in different groups. Data are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA, n = 5 (Sham), 6 (Sham + TBHQ), 12 (TAC) and 12 (TAC + TBHQ).
