Anti-ischemic effect of uridine treatment in the AMI and I/R models. (a) Size of the ischemic alteration zone and (b) T-wave amplitude on the EEG in the AMI model. AMI (n = 15), AMI + uridine (n = 6), AMI + uridine + 5-HD (n = 6). (c) Infarct area in the rat myocardium after 120 min of reperfusion in the I/R model. Abbreviations: AMI, acute myocardial ischemia; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; 5-HD, 5-hydroxydecanoate; IA, infarct area; AAR, area at risk; LCA, the left coronary artery. The AAR was expressed as a percentage of the total area of the left ventricle, and the IA, as a percentage of the AAR. I/R (n = 9), I/R + uridine (n = 5), I/R + uridine + 5-HD (n = 6). All data are the mean ± SD. **p < 0.01 versus AMI (or I/R) group, ***p < 0.001 versus AMI (or I/R) group, ##p < 0.01 versus AMI (or I/R) + uridine group, ###p < 0.001 versus AMI (or I/R) + uridine group.
