From: Pharmacological and ischemic preconditioning of the human myocardium: mitoKATP channels are upstream and p38MAPK is downstream of PKC

Figure 4

Creatine Kinase (CK) leakage into the media (A) during the 120 min reoxygenation period and MTT reduction by the slices (B) at the end of the reoxygenation period in human atrial myocardium subjected to various protocols (see Figure 1) to investigate the efficacy of preconditioning via α1-adrenoreceptors or adenosine receptors alone and in combination with IP (Study 1). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of six experiments. *p < 0.05 vs SI/R alone group.
