Effect of GLP-1(9–36) on extracellular matrix gene expression post-MI. LV mRNA expression of a procollagen IαI, b fibronectin, c CTGF, d MMP-2, e MMP-9, and f TIMP2 by real-time RT-PCR (n = 5-6). White columns, sham, black columns, MI mean ± SEM. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01 versus corresponding sham; ^†P < 0.05 versus corresponding MI
