Scheme of rat heart preparation after IR experiments. a Rats are randomly divided into the following three groups: sham, IR, and TALE. sham, no IR but subjected to the same surgical procedure; IR, IR with surgical procedure; TALE, fed Triticum aestivum L. extract (TALE) as a representative DF grain prior to IR. The heart was sliced into 4 parts using a rat heart slicer matrix (ZIVIC Instruments, Pittsburgh, PA). b Two of the four parts were used for the assessment of the IS through TTC staining, and the remaining parts were chopped and frozen at − 80 °C. Each protein was extracted from the tissues and subjected to a proteome analysis. c Effect of TALE intake on the IS in an IR rat model. Abbreviations: LA, left atrium; RA, right atrium; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle; LAD, left anterior descending coronary artery; IS, infart size; RS, risk size
