Gal improves I/R—induced cardiac dysfunction in rats. Rats were grouped into five groups (10 in each group): Sham group, I/R model, I/R + Gal (1 mg/kg), I/R + Gal (3 mg/kg), and I/R + Aspirin (20 mg/kg) group. (A) LVWT; (B) LVEDV; (C) LVESV; (D) FS; (E) LVEF. *, P<0.05 vs. sham group; #, P<0.05 vs. I/R group.
