  1. p values indicate significance of difference between “after” and “before” values in each group
  2. p1 values indicate significance of difference between “after” function of non-preconditioned and preconditioned hearts from age-matched control rats
  3. p2 values indicate significance of difference between “after” function of non-preconditioned and preconditioned hearts from DIO rats
  4. Numbers in brackets indicate number of rats
  5. a Indicate number of hearts able to produce aortic output during reperfusion
