Figure 1. BCKAs protected heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Figure 1

A. Representative images of cross-sections of TTC stained ischemic hearts with or without pretreatment of KIC. B, Relative infarct size expressed as a percentage of the total ventricular area was calculated from control group (without KIC treatment) (n=11) and KIC-pretreatment (n=15) groups. C-E, Time courses of functional recovery (percentage of baseline) of ischemic hearts with (n=14) or without (n=11) KIC pre-treatment. Pre-treatment was performed by including KIC in both perfusion and reperfusion buffer. LVDP, Left Ventricular Developed Pressure. *, p<0.05.
