Sevoflurane preconditioning-induced decreases in infarct size were blocked by CC or CQ. (A, C) Representative area at risk (AAR), presented as the ratio of AAR/left ventricle (LV); (B, D) Representative slices of the LV stained by Evans blue and TTC, myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of AAR. Pentobarbital-anesthetized rats underwent 30 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion with or without sevoflurane treatment. * P<0.05 versus CON group; & P<0.05 versus SWOP group (n=8 to 10 hearts per group).
