Figure 2. Effects of calcium and EDTA on hypothermic preservation of cardiac myocytes.

Cells were incubated with no additions or with 100 μM calcium, 5 mM FBP, 0.5 mM EDTA, or various combinations of additions. Death rates for treated cells were normalized to those of control cells. The averages of the relative death rates for two experiments are plotted, with error bars indicating S.E.M.
