Gsk-3β Inhibitors Mimic the Cardioprotection Mediated by Ischemic Pre- and Postconditioning in Hypertensive Rats

Figure 2

Infarct size (IS), expressed as a percentage of risk area, in nonischemic control (NIC), ischemic control (IC), preconditioned (PRE), postconditioned (POS), (wortmannin), , lithium, and IMI treated hearts. Observe that all interventions decreased the infarct size detected in IC hearts. W abolished the protection achieved by PRE and POS. * versus IC; # versus PRE and POS.
