Comparison of myocardial infarct size in the I/R + LR, I/R + EP25, and I/R + EP50 groups. Values are means ± SD (n = 15 in each group). I/R + LR, rats in which 4 mL LR was administered intraperitoneally 1 hour before ischemic insult; I/R + EP25, rats in which 25 mg/kg EP was administrated intraperitoneally 1 hour before ischemic insult; I/R + EP50, rats in which 50 mg/kg EP was administered intraperitoneally 1 hour before ischemic insult. I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; LR, lactated Ringer's solution; EP, ethyl pyruvate; AAR, area at risk; LV, left ventricle; IA, infracted area. *p < 0.05 compared to the I/R + LR group.
