Myocardial infarction in liver-intact and hepatectomized parabiotic mice. (A) Left ventricular specimens from liver-intact and hepatectomized parabiotic mice, showing TTC-stained myocardial infarcts (pale) at 1 and 3 days and AZAN-stained myocardial infarcts/fibrotic tissue (blue) at 5 and 10 days after MI-R injury. Red: Intact myocardium. The length scale is for all panels. (B) Graphic representation of the % of myocardial infarcts in reference to the total volume of the left ventricular wall. Solid blue and red circles: Means ± SDs from liver-intact and hepatectomized parabiotic mice with MI-R injury, respectively. Open blue and red circles: Raw data points (n = 6) from liver-intact and hepatectomized parabiotic mice with MI-R injury, respectively. The blue-colored p value is for comparison between the liver-intact and hepatectomized mice by ANOVA. The p value on each blue-colored column is for post-hoc comparison between the liver-intact and hepatectomized mice at each time point.
