Expression of desmin in chronic anthracycline cardiotoxicity and post-treatment follow up.

<p>Expression of desmin at the mRNA (<b>A</b>, <b>C</b>) and protein (<b>B</b>, <b>D</b>) level in the left and right ventricular myocardium, respectively. Statistical significances (One Way ANOVA/One Way ANOVA on Ranks according to data character, <i>P</i><0.05) within each study period (*) or between the treatment and post-treatment period (#). Immunohistochemical detection of desmin (brown) in the left (<b>E</b>) and right (<b>F</b>) ventricular myocardium. Nuclei counterstained with Gill’s hematoxylin. Scale bar - 20 µm. C - control group, DAU - daunorubicin group, FU - follow up.
