Figure 7 (a) 3H-proline incorporation, an estimate of collagen synthesis, by neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts cultured in the presence of TGF-ß1 and various concentrations of RWJ. (b) Northern blot analyses of {alpha}1(I) procollagen gene expression relative to the housekeeping gene, GAPDH, in neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts cultured in the presence of RWJ and TGF-ß1. n = 3 for each condition. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 versus unstimulated. {dagger}p <0.05 versus TGF-ß1 stimulation alone.
