ATP content of hearts subjected to ischemia-repefusion. 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. Reperfusion refers to the end of the 30-min reperfusion period. C control hearts. IPOC postconditioned hearts. a, p < 0.05 versus C reperfusion in the same nutritional condition. b, p < 0.05 versus pre-ischemic in the same nutritional condition. c, p < 0.05 versus C reperfusion fed and versus ischemic fasted
