Myocardial infarct size (INF) was determined after 40 min of in vivo coronary occlusion and 24 h of reperfusion. The area at risk (AAR) with respect to the left ventricle (LV) was not significantly different between FVB wild-type and Mk transgenic mice, indicating consistent execution of the surgical protocol between the two groups. The amount of nonviable myocardium, according to triphenyltetrazolium negativity, was also similar between the two groups. This was true whether INF was expressed relative to the AAR (INF/AAR) or to the entire LV (INF/LV). P = not significant (NS) for all comparisons. n = 6 mice/group.
