Effect of empagliflozin (EMP) on structural integrity of the myocardial mitochondria after cardiac arrest in rats. (A) Representative heart transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of heart mitochondria at 24 h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Arrow indicates intermitochondrial junctions (IMJs); Arrowhead indicates lipid droplet. Scale bar = 1 μm. (B) Quantification of heart mitochondrial area by TEM after ROSC. n = 5 and at least 60 mitochondria were counted in each group. (C) Quantification of heart mitochondrial lipid droplet content by TEM after ROSC. n = 5 and 30 photographs were counted in each group. (D) Quantification of heart IMJs by TEM after ROSC. n = 5 and 25 photographs were counted in each group. Data are presented as mean ± SD, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
