Apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptide 4F (4F) decreases the ischemic area of the myocardium. All studies were performed 24 h after sham procedure or myocardial infarction (MI) induction. Infarct size was determined by Masson–Goldner trichrome staining and expressed as percent total left ventricular area. Infarct areas were smaller in 4F-treated animals than in untreated animals (n = 8/group, ANOVA).
