The Protective Effect of Cx43 Protein-Mediated Phosphocreatine on Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Figure 5

Immunoflorescence staining of Cx43 in rat hearts in vivo (200x). ((a) (b), (c)) Cx43 is mainly located at the intercalated discs of the control group. ((d) (e), (f)) In the I/R group, the Cx43 signal at the intercalated discs is lost and arranged irregularly. ((g) (h), (i)) PCr leads to a partial preservation of Cx43 at the intercalated discs after I/R.
