Post-TTM Rebound Pyrexia after Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Results in Sterile Inflammation and Apoptosis in Cardiomyocytes

Figure 5

Pyrexia induces caspase-3 cleavage in the OGD/R-injured cardiomyocytes (41 and 53 h) that was briefly attenuated by hypothermia (41 h). Undamaged normoxia control cardiomyocytes warmed to pyrexia also showed increased cleavage of caspase-3 (31 and 53 h). Data from 3 to 4 independent experiments is presented as . and as compared to normoxia control at 37°C (normalized to 1).
