Exogenous Nitric Oxide Protects Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Table 1

Cell death of both differentiated EBs (6 + 4 days of differentiation) and cardiomyocytes derived from hESCs (6 + 24 days of differentiation) exposed to normoxia or SI: representative results obtained from one plate. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM; normoxia versus SI; unpaired -test, = 5-6 in both groups.
