A. Experimental design for ischemia/reperfusion experiments (IR) in B-I. B, plasma cardiac troponin (CTNI) measurements and C, TTC stain of cardiac tissue 24 hours after IR. D, Absolute (left) and normalized (right) heart weight 7 days post IR. E, representative Masson’s Trichrome stain of cardiac histological sections and quantification of infarct size 7 days after IR. F, 20 x magnification of cardiac Masson’s Trichrome stain at the specified regions. G, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) stain in heart tissue at 7 days post IR. H, Cardiac functional parameters before (day 0) and at the denoted times after IR. I, Percentage drop in ejection fraction from before to 1 day and 7 days following IR. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
