TXL treatment reduced interstitial fibrosis in the peri-infarct border zone 30 days after MI. (a) Masson’s trichrome staining was performed to detect interstitial fibrosis in the border zone. (b) Quantification of interstitial fibrosis expressed as collagen volume fraction of border zone (𝑛= 5-6). Bar = 50 μm. ^#𝑃<0.05 versus Sham; ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus Control.
