Verification of inflammatory response. A HE staining of heart tissue in each group (n = 4). B–D The levels of TNF-α (F), IL-1β (G), and IL-6 (H) in the serum of mice in each group (n = 6). E Expression of CXC motif chemokine ligand 2 (Cxcl2). F Expression of serum amyloid antigen 3 (Saa3). G Expression of mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 1 (Smad1). H Expression of Arginase-1 (Arg1) (n = 4). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. HE staining was magnified by 200 ×
