The effect of administering IPC effluent as a mimetic of ischemic postconditioning (RIPost) on myocardial infarct size. Treatment of recipient hearts with IPC effluent for 3× 30 s at ischemic reperfusion (EffPost) reduced infarct size to the same extent as ischemic postconditioning (IPost), and both groups had significantly reduced infarct size as compared to the control group (Ctr). Bars represent mean ± SEM. N ≥ 7 in each group. *P < 0.05 versus Ctr
