Evaluatin of infarct size and apoptosis markers. (a) Infarct size after GA treatment (n = 4). Top: representative 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride-stained heart slices for each treatment condition. Bottom: measured infarct size, normalized to the LV area, in isolated rat hearts at the end of reperfusion. (b) Cleaved caspase-3 protein levels after GA treatment (n = 4). Top: Western blot showing casepase-3 protein levels corrected to GAPDH. Bottom: Cleaved caspase-3 protein levels corrected to GAPDH. Ctr control, Rep reperfusion, GA 2 h Gum Arabic infusion 2 h before sacrifice, GA 2 W Gum Arabic administration for 2 weeks, GA 4 W Gum Arabic administration for 4 weeks, GA Rep. Gum Arabic infusion at reperfusion. *P < 0.001 compared to control. Full length gel was included in supplementary figure (Fig. 3S).
