Hyperglycemia-Induced Inhibition of DJ-1 Expression Compromised the Effectiveness of Ischemic Postconditioning Cardioprotection in Rats
Figure 1
Shown are the area at risk from the left ventricle (AAR/LV) and infarcted area from the area at risk (IA/AAR) in percent means ± SD ( each). The blue-stained areas represent nonischemic tissue, and red stained areas represent the area at risk. Pale areas indicate infarct areas. (a) AAR/LV of normal and diabetic heart suffering from MI/R. There was no significant difference in AAR/LV between the four groups . (b) IA/AAR of normal and diabetic heart which was subjected to MI/R with or without ischemic postconditioning. & versus N + IR group; no difference between DM + IR group and DM + IPO group.
