The Cardioprotective Effects of Citric Acid and L-Malic Acid on Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Figure 4

Effects of citric acid (a) and L-malic acid (b) on LDH release. Cardiomyocytes were subjected to 3 h hypoxia followed by 2 h reoxygenation with or without treatment. LDH activities in the hypoxia and the reoxygenation media and in the cell lysates were measured. Data are shown as mean±SD. ^##𝑃<0.01 versus normal control, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01,^∗𝑃<0.05 versus model control (𝑛=3).
