From: Left ventricular torsional mechanics and myocardial iron load in beta-thalassaemia major: a potential role of titin degradation

Figure 4

Gel electrophoresis for analysis of titin degradation in ventricular tissue obtained from control (CTRL) and iron overloaded (IO) mice. Ventricular myocardium of IO mice showed significant reduction of T1/(myosin heavy chain) MHC and increase in T2/MHC ratios and the appearance of a faint titin degradation subfragment (arrow). (*p < 0.05 vs controls).
