Figure 5 Relationship between infarct size and collagen content. In the MI group, infarct collagen content (as percentage of infarct area) correlated inversely with infarct size (as percentage of the left ventricle [LV]): y = –0.65x + 73.26, r = –0.82, p < 0.05 (open circles). M-CSF treatment shifted the regression line upwards: y = 0.17x + 57.24 (closed circles), p < 0.05 vs. the MI group regression line by analysis of co-variance. Other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
