Expression of CNP mRNA in myocardial tissue. a The myocardial CNP mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization staining. The CNP mRNA in situ hybridization signal demonstrated a canary yellow granular pattern of distribution in Group C, Group HE and Group EEP, while a brown lump pattern of distribution was observed in Group EEP+HE and Group LEP+HE (original magnification ×400). b Quantitative analysis of CNP mRNA in situ hybridization staining. The in situ hybridization density values in Group EEP+HE and Group LEP+HE were significantly higher than those in Group HE (p < 0.05). c CNP mRNA levels determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. The CNP mRNA levels in Group EEP+HE and Group LEP+HE were significantly higher than those in Group HE (p < 0.05). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs Group C
