Histological evaluation. Cardiomyocyte width A, cardiomyocyte length B, the ratio of cardiomyocyte length to cardiomyocyte width C, the total fibrosis in the left ventricle D, the amount of mature collagen in the left ventricle E and the amount of newly synthesized collagen in the left ventricle F - in sham-operated normotensive transgene-negative Hannover Sprague-Dawley rats (HanSD), hypertensive sham-operated Ren-2 transgenic (TGR) rats and in TGR two weeks after creation of the aorto-caval fistula (ACF). * P < 0.05 compared with sham-operated HanSD rats. @ P < 0.05 compared with all other groups. The values are means ± SEM
