Cardiac tissue fibrosis evaluation. Masson’s trichrome staining sections were analyzed by optical microscopy to evaluate perivascular and interstitial fibrosis in the LV myocardium (greenish). Representative images of heart sections from control (a and b) and TiO2-NP treated animals (c and d). a CTRL LV myocardium; black rectangle area is shown at higher magnification in panel (b). c TiO2-NPs treated LV myocardium; black rectangle area is shown at higher magnification in panel (d). Scale bars: a and c = 200 μm; b and d = 100 μm
