MCMV infection induced myocardial remodeling in mice. (a) Determination of HW/BW%. (b) Determination of LVW/BW%. (c) Representative images of H&E staining in the heart. (d) Quantitative analysis of the cell size (μm2) of cardiomyocytes in all groups. (e) Representative images of Masson’s trichrome stain in the heart. (f) Quantitative analysis of fibrosis in all groups. The data are expressed as the (), , the MCMV groups vs. the age-matched control groups. HW/BW%: heart-to-body weight ratio; LVW/BW%: left ventricle-to-body weight ratio. Images were magnified to ×400 power, .
