Figure 2From: Remote ischemic preconditioning preserves Connexin 43 phosphorylation in the rat heart in vivo RIPC leads to a significant decrease of the infarct size after I/R in percentage of the area at risk. RIPC = remote ischemic preconditioning, I/R ischemia and reperfusion (Data are mean ± SD, n = 6 / group. * p < 0.05). Representative pictures of TTC-stained hearts from I/R and RIPC-I/R animals are shown (white: infarct area, red: AAR, blue: area not at risk, not perfused by LAD).Back to article page
