Figure 3From: Dual role of nNOS in ischemic injury and preconditioningCK release (a), and cell necrosis (b) and apoptosis (c) in nNOS knockout mice ventricular myocardium subjected to 90 min ischemia followed by 120 min of reoxygenation (n = 6/group). Specimens were incubated with SNAP, L-NAME or TRIM for 20 min prior to ischemia. For comparison, some muscles were subjected to ischemic preconditioning (IP). *P < 0.05 vs. ischemia/reoxygenation (I/R) alone.Back to article page
