CypD ablation decreases I/R injury and CypD−/− hearts are protected by IPC in hearts perfused with glucose only. (a) Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release during reperfusion as a percentage of total LDH in the heart. (b) Rate pressure product (RPP) at the end of reperfusion as percentage of baseline values. (c) End-diastolic pressure (EDP) at the end of reperfusion. (d) Developed left ventricular pressure (DLVP) at the end of reperfusion. N = 7–13 per group. Data are shown as mean + SEM. Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to test for significance between 1) control treated WT and CypD−/− animals 2) control and IPC treated animals in WT and 3) CypD−/− animals. *p < 0.05.
