(A) S1, S3 and S7 represents sham group at 24 h, 3 days and 7 days; P1, P3, P7 represents placebo group at 24 h, 3 days and 7 days; T1, T3, T7 represents ticagrelor group at 24 h, 3 days and 7 days. Representative blot for galectin‐3 of various groups at 24 h, 3 days and 7 days post sham operation or I/R injury. Protein expression of galectin‐3 (B) in the myocardial tissue of sham group (white bar) and infarct area of placebo group (gray bar) and ticagrelor group (black bar) at 24 h, 3 days and 7 days post I/R injury. * P < 0.05 vs. sham‐operated group; ^† P < 0.05 vs. placebo group at the same time point; ^‡ P < 0.05 vs. 24‐h group within the same treatment group
