From: Remote ischemic preconditioning preserves Connexin 43 phosphorylation in the rat heart in vivo
Immunofluorescence staining of Cx43 in rat hearts. (A) Cx43 is mainly located at the intercalated discs of Sham hearts. (B) In I/R hearts, the Cx43 signal at the intercalated discs is lost and Cx43 is partly lateralized to the plasma membrane. (C) RIPC leads to a partial preservation of Cx43 at the intercalated discs after I/R. RIPC = remote ischemic preconditioning, I/R = ischemia and reperfusion.
