cardiovascular system
• myocardial infarction-induced cardiac fibrosis is attenuated, with collagen production by myofibroblasts isolated from myocardial infracted hearts is reduced compared to controls
• myocardial infarction-induced cardiac function is improved compared to controls, showing increased ejection fraction and fractional shortening rating (improved contractility) and decreased E/A ratio, indicating reduced diastolic function
