Confirmation that BAPN inhibits collagen fiber formation. (A) Representative SHG image of the control group. Scale bar, 250 µm. (B) Binarized image of Fig. 3A. Scale bar, 250 µm. (C) Representative binarized image with selected geometric parameters of control group. Scale bar, 250 µm. (D) Representative binarized image with selected geometric parameters of BAPN group. Scale bar, 250 µm.The SHG images of the collagen fibers were binarized, and their geometric parameters were quantitatively analyzed. The histogram shows each mean value, and the error bars represent the standard deviation. Asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).
