  1. p values indicate significance of difference between “after” and “before” values in each group
  2. p1 indicate significance of difference between “after” values of young and middle- aged matched controls
  3. p2 values indicate significance of difference between “after” values of young and middle-aged DIO
  4. Numbers in brackets indicate number of rats
  5. a Indicates number of hearts able to produce aortic output during reperfusion
  6. b % recovery in Total work did not differ significantly from age-matched control
