Histopathological analysis of rat myocardium: A - Normal appearance myocardial tissue in control rats. B - Normal myocardium without any necrosis or nuclear pyknosis in IGF-1 alone group, C - Myocardial infarction with ISO treatment (arrows) showing necrosis and scar formation, D - Vascular proliferation and macrophage activity in ISO + IGF-1 treated group. There is a local angiogenic reaction in the myocardium with many small vessels in the surrounding area (arrows), ×100.
