Xenon increased phosphorylation of Akt and glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK-3β) in rat ventricular myocardium. Western blots are shown using antiserum against phosphorylated Akt at Ser 473 (p-Akt) and total Akt (Panel A), and against phosphorylated GSK-3β at Ser 9 (p-GSK-3β) and total GSK-3β (Panel B). Histograms depict the relative density of p-Akt and p-GSK-3β normalized to the total Akt and GSK-3β content, respectively (Panel C). CON = control; Xe = xenon preconditioning (n = 4 per group). *Significantly (P < 0.05) different from CON.
