Xiao-Qing-Long-Tang Maintains Cardiac Function during Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction in Salt-Sensitive Rats by Regulating the Imbalance of Cardiac Sympathetic Innervation
Figure 4
Treatment with XQLT regulated the anatomical dominance of sympathetic nerves. (a) Double immunofluorescence of TH+/GAP43+ positive fibers in left ventricle (scale bars:50 μm). (b) Relative TH+/GAP43+ positive fibers area. (c) Representative Western blot of myocardial GAP43. (d) Relative protein level was calculated by band intensity against β-actin. Quantitative data are shown as the mean ± SD, n = 9. < 0.01 vs. the SS-13BN group; < 0.01 vs. the DS group.
