Fig. 7From: Early impairment of coronary microvascular perfusion capacity in rats on a high fat dietEvaluation of cardiac myocyte size and signal intensity in control and HFD rats. A wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) FITC-labeled lectin staining was performed on heart tissue of control rats and HFD rats (a), The intensity of WGA-staining was measured in control rats (n = 4) and in HFD rats (n = 4; b). c As a positive control, cardiac tissue from hyaluronidase-treated rats was used, a clearly visible reduction in capillary WGA-staining intensity was shown. d Cardiac staining intensity did not differ between control and HFD ratsBack to article page
