Figure 6.

Ex vivo analysis of at-risk myocardial caspase-3/7 activity of IR and SS animals undergoing tracer microPET imaging. Mean caspase-3/7 activity (± standard error) of the at-risk ventricular samples isolated from the experimental imaging groups was measured by ex vivo fluorometric assay. All treatments are n = 4 with a p-value (ANOVA) = 0.033 for interaction between tracer and treatment type. Bonferroni-adjusted p-values for pair-wise comparisons are indicated.
