Myocardial TOPK (b), PTEN (c), and Akt (d) protein expression and their phosphorylation status after myocardial IR with or without SPostC in nondiabetic mice. IR+SPostC+LY and IR+SPostC+HI indicated mice pretreated with LY or HI, respectively, and then subjected to IR and SPostC. (a) Representation of western blots. Mean band density was normalized relative to GAPDH. The IR group was used as control and normalized to unity, and the protein expression of other groups was displayed as changes over this baseline. All values are presented as the ( per group). and compared with the IR group; ### compared with the SPostC group.
