Hemodynamic Data under Ischemia/Reperfusion Conditions

Values are the mean ± SD. Sham + LR, sham-operated rats in which no tightening of the left coronary artery was performed; 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.

LVSP, left ventricular systolic pressure; LVEDP, left ventricular end diastolic pressure; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; EP, ethyl pyruvate; LR, lactated Ringer's solution.

^*p < 0.05 vs. sham + LR.

^†p < 0.05 vs. I/R + LR.

^‡p < 0.05 vs. I/R + EP25.
