1a: Western blot analysis of APJ receptor expression. Upper blot shows APJ receptor expression in myocardium obtained from patients used in the study. The lower blot shows HSP 70 levels in the same patient samples Numbers identify individual patients. C is internal placental loading control added to all gels. 50 µg protein was loaded in all wells. Figure 1b: APP receptor analysis in relation to length of the surgical time. Box and whiskers plot shows APJ receptor in the myocardial samples collected at the start of surgery (<10 min) and samples collected after 10 min until the end of surgery.
