TAG content of hearts subjected to ischemia-reperfusion. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 8) and are expressed as μmol/g dry weight. Open bars fed hearts, filled bars fasted hearts. Pre-ischemic refers to the end of the 25-min pre-ischemic period. Ischemic refers to the end of the 25-min ischemic period. Reperfusion refers to the end of the 30-min reperfusion period. C control hearts. IPOC postconditioned hearts. a, p < 0.01 versus fed hearts, same treatment; b, p < 0.01 versus IPOC reperfusion fasted heart and versus pre-ischemic fasted hearts
