Figure 2.

Endogenous FGF2 reduces cell death and infarct size resulting from cardiac ischemia‐reperfusion injury. (A) Representative images of Masson's Trichrome‐stained Fgf2−/− and wild‐type mice 7 days after IR injury. (B) Representative images of TUNEL assays of Fgf2−/− and wild‐type mice 1 day after IR injury or sham treatment (green – TUNEL positive nuclei, red – DAPI). (C) Fgf2−/− mice have increased cell death (% TUNEL positive nuclei) at 1 day after IR injury compared to wild‐type controls. n = 3–5, *P < 0.05 versus wild type, #P < 0.05 versus sham.
