CP pretreatment improves MBF. (a) Representative MBF images acquired by Laser Doppler Perfusion Imager in Sham group (A), I/R group (B), CP group (C), CP group (D), and CP group (E). For each group, images at baseline (1) and 0 min (2), 30 min (3), and 90 min of reperfusion (4) are shown, respectively. Color scale illustrates myocardial blood flow from dark blue (low flow) to red (high flow). (b) Time course of quantitative results of MBF in various groups. MBF is expressed as a percentage of baseline MBF. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (). versus Sham group, versus I/R group.
