Figure 5

Effects of 12-week wheel-running exercise and nutrition on the extension of myocardial infarction. Infarct size is demonstrated as a percentage of the area at risk. Results are shown as means ± S.E.M.  = 8–10. Statistical significance: relative to the SO CTRL group, and shows a significant difference between the running and nonrunning groups. SO = sham-operated; OVX = ovariectomized; CTRL = standard chow; HT = high-triglyceride diet.
