Figure 1
In vivo myocardial infarction studies. (a–d) Representative photographs of myocardial slices of WT-CON mice (a), WT-IPC mice (b), KO-CON mice (c), and KO-IPC mice (d) are shown. A schema of each photograph is indicated below; infarct area is expressed as gray, viable myocardium in AAR as red, and nonischemic area as blue. Scale bar = 2 mm. (e) Myocardial infarct size expressed as percentage of AAR for WT-CON (n = 6), WT-IPC (n = 6), KO-CON (n = 6), and KO-IPC (n = 6). There were no significant differences in the infarct size between WT-CON and KO-CON or between KO-CON and KO-IPC. Values are expressed as mean ± SE. NS, not significant. *P < 0.01 versus WT-CON.
