Time course of changes in gene expression analyzed by qPCR. Transcripts were quantitatively measured in samples of the remote (open symbols) and stunned area (closed symbols) from hearts submitted to 90-min occlusion followed by no reperfusion or 1- or 12-h reperfusion (n = 5 in each group). The subendocardial (squares) and subepicardial areas (circles) were measured separately and compared with sham-operated animals (Sh). *, P < 0.05 versus corresponding value in remote myocardium. #, P < 0.05 versus corresponding value in subendocardium.
