AID‐TAT peptide decreases infarct size and supports contractility in vivo. A, Representative sections from rat hearts treated with 1 μmol/L of scrambled (AID(S)‐TAT) or active (AID‐TAT) peptides. Infarct size is assessed as area that did not take up nitroblue tetrazolium dye. B, Mean±SEM of infarct size in hearts following myocardial infarction expressed as a percentage (%) of total left ventricular (LV) area for all hearts treated with 1 or 10 μmol/L of AID(S)‐TAT or AID‐TAT peptide as indicated. C, Mean±SEM of heart/body weight ratio (Hwt/Bwt) for all hearts treated with 10 μmol/L of AID(S)‐TAT or AID‐TAT peptide as indicated. D, Mean±SEM of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) for all hearts treated with 10 μmol/L of AID(S)‐TAT or AID‐TAT peptide as indicated. E, Mean±SEM of maximum dP/dt for all hearts treated with 10 μmol/L of AID(S)‐TAT or AID‐TAT peptide as indicated. F, Mean±SEM of systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure (BP) for all animals treated with 1 or 10 μmol/L of AID‐TAT peptide as indicated. n represents number of animals. AID indicates alpha‐interacting domain; TAT, transactivator of transcription.
