Comparison of concentrations of serum interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-10, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) at T ₂ time points among all groups. At time point T ₂, blood was collected immediately after the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) procedure was completed. IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and cTnI were measured as described in Materials and methods. A IL-1β; B IL-6; C IL-10; D TNF-α; E cTnI. ^* P < 0.05 for comparisons of I/R1 and LX1 groups with C1 group, P < 0.05 for comparisons of I/R2 and LX2 with C2 group; ^# P < 0.05 for comparisons of LX1 group with I/R1 group, P < 0.05 for comparisons of LX2 group with I/R2 group
