Figure 9

Effect of Abatacept on Akt1/2/p-Akt (a) and (b); Hsp (27, 70) (c) and (d); Nrf-2/HO-1 (e) and (f); FABP (g); and NOX-4 (h) in ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury model of myocardial infarction. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 3 in each group. , , and . IR-C, ischemia reperfusion control; Telmi10+IR, telmisartan 10 mg/kg+ischemia reperfusion; ABT5+IR, Abatacept 5 mg/kg+ischemia reperfusion; Hsp, heat shock protein; Nrf-2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; FABP, fatty acid binding proteins; NOX-4, NADPH oxidase 4.
