SD rats were treated the MMP 2 and 9 inhibitor, SB-3CT as indicated and underwent 10 days of RI. Coronary blood flow was measured in the CZ and the NZ using microspheres during LAD occlusion and is expressed as the ratio between CZ and NZ flows at day 10 of RI. *p<0.05 vs. SD sham, #p<0.05 vs. SD RI.
