	Group C (n=6)	Group IR (n=6)	Group IR-A (n=6)	Group IR-I (n=6)	P-value**
PMNL infiltration	0.00±0.00*	1.17±0.31	0.83±0.31	0.00±0.00*	0.002
Edema	0.00±0.00	0.17±0.17	0.00±0.00	0.00±0.00	0.413
Myocyte disorganization, degeneration, necrosis	0.00±0.00	0.17±0.17	0.00±0.00	0.00±0.00	0.413

Notes:

^**Significance level with Kruskal–Wallis test, P<0.05.

^*P<0.05 compared with Group IR. Group C is the Control Group, Group IR is the Ischemia Reperfusion Group, Group IR-A is the Ischemia Reperfusion Group treated with Alprostadil, Group IR-I is the Ischemia Reperfusion Group Treated with Iloprost.

Abbreviation: PMNL, polymorphonuclear leukocyte.
