Immunofluorescent analysis of CTR1 localization in LV sections from control, diabetic and TETA-treated diabetic rats. A: Representative LV-wall longitudinal sections (100 ×-objective) labeled with anti-CTR1 (red) and WGA (green): n = 40 sectional images/group: scale bar = 20 μm. For further magnified images, scale bar = 4 μm. B: Quantitative analysis of immunofluorescent-signal area for CTR1. Confocal images (40 ×-objective) were analyzed using a custom-written IDL analysis program based on signal-thresholding. Results are expressed as mean of the percentages of corresponding cross-sectional areas: **P < 0.01 vs. control: at least 40 sectional images/group were analyzed.
