Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of lipoxin A 4 on macrophage polarization in LV. A Representative images of macrophages in the left ventricle, co-stained with nuclei (blue, DAPI) and macrophage (red, CD68). Scale bar = 200 μm. B Quantitative data of CD68-positive macrophages. C Representative images of M1-like macrophages in the left ventricle, co-stained with nuclei (cyan, DAPI) and M1-like macrophage (magenta, iNOS). Scale bar = 200 μm. D Quantitative data of iNOS-positive macrophages. E Representative images of M2-like macrophages in the left ventricle, co-stained with nuclei (cyan, DAPI) and M2-like macrophage (grey, CD206). Scale bar = 200 μm. F Quantitative data of CD206-positive macrophages. G M1/M2 macrophage ratio H mRNA expression of mCd86 in mouse left ventricle. I mRNA expression of mArg1 in mouse left ventricle. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, Two-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD post hoc test was used to compare the effects of phenotype and treatment. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: Slides were incubated with either rat anti-mouse CD68 + (1:200, Bio-Rad, Hercules, California, USA), rat anti-mouse iNOS (1:100, Thermo Fisher Scientific™, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), or rabbit anti-mouse CD206 + (1:100, Thermo Fisher Scientific™, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), and then placed into a humidified chamber and incubated at 4 °C overnight.
