Group | n | ATP (nmol/mg) |
---|---|---|
Sham | 6 | 31.08±5.14 |
CME | 6 | 12.42±2.83* |
low | 6 | 20.39±2.25*#a |
High | 6 | 24.59±1.19*# |
Notes: Alprostadil injection improved ATP production following CME. The results are presented as the mean±standard deviation (SD) of at least three independent experiments. *P<0.05, compared with Sham group; #P<0.05, compared with CME group; aP<0.05, compared with High group.
Abbreviations: CME, coronary microembolization; Low, CME plus alprostadil injection (2 μg/kg); High, CME plus alprostadil injection (4 μg/kg); ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
