Area at risk (AAR), temperature before sustained coronary occlusion (TEMP), regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF), heart rate (HR), and left ventricular pressure (LVP) in female and castrated male Ossabaw minipigs undergoing myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion without or with prior ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). Two-way (sex, protocol) analysis of variance for AAR and temperature; three-way (sex, protocol, time) analysis of variance for RMBF, HR, and LVP, each with least square means tests
