Fig 3
Morphometric study in Sham and infarcted rats with and without rosemary supplementation.
A. CSA: cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area (p<0.001); B. Microscopic images of CSA H&E stained (evidenced with arrows) of groups SR0, IR0, IR002 and IR02; C. % collagen: p = 0.035; D. Microscopic images of myocytes Picrosirius red stained for collagen (red marks in images) of SR0, IR0, IR002 and IR02. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Asterisks (*) represent significant difference between groups (p<0.05). Sample size: SR0 = 23; SR002 = 23; SR02 = 22; IR0 = 13; IR002 = 8; and IR02 = 9.
