    Immunoperoxidase labeling of HCN subunits in human nucleus raphe interpositus (RIP). (A) Consecutive 5 μm thick coronal paraffin sections through RIP stained for HCN1 (left) and HCN2 (right). HCN1 (left) is labeled only in OPNs, which are ensheathed by perineuronal nets (red arrows) and lacks completely in cholinergic non-OPNs (green arrows) (middle). On the other hand, HCN2 (right) immunolabeling is found in both neuron groups. (B) HCN4 immunolabeling (right) is ubiquitously found both in OPNs (red arrows) in cholinergic non-OPNs (green arrows). Scale bar represents 50 μm.

    Doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy modelling in mice. A. A work flow of the modelling of doxorubicin (DXB)-induce cardiomyopathy in C57BL/6 N adult male mice. Saline was injected as a vehicle (Veh) control. B. The time course of the body weight in Veh- and DXB-treated mice. While the body weight of Veh mice incrementally gained, that of DXB mice decreased. n = 6 in Veh and 10 in DXB. C.
