Ameliorating Effect of Klotho Protein on Rat Heart during I/R Injury

Figure 2

An effect of global I/R injury and Klotho protein on heart contractile function: (a) recovery of heart mechanical function. Percent recovery was calculated as a difference between RPP at 25 and 75 min of perfusion protocol; (b) RPP calculated as the product of the heart rate and pressure developed in the left ventricle (); (c) coronary flow; (d) heart rate at the end of reperfusion (77 min). Bpm: beats per minute; CF: coronary flow; I/R: ischaemia/reperfusion; RPP: rate pressure product; ; ; ; ; ; vs. Aero; ^# vs. I/R; ANOVA.
