Time course of the release of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) during H₂O₂ washout perfusion (W). The amount of GOT release was lower in the hearts of the ischemic preconditioning group (open diamonds) and control group (closed squares) than in the hearts of the ischemic postconditioning group (open circles) after the first 5 min of washout. There were no differences in GOT release among the groups at the end of washout. **P<0.05 versus the control group; ^##P<0.05 versus the ischemic preconditioning group.
