Involvement of energetic metabolism in the effects of ischemic postconditioning on the ischemic-reperfused heart of fed and fasted rats

Table 1 Effects of oxfenicine on contractile recovery of postconditioned fasted hearts

Data are the mean ± SEM (n = 8)
Values are expressed as percentages of the respective basal values at the end of the 25-min equilibration period
RPP rate-pressure product at 15 min of reperfusion, +dP/dt peak rate of contraction at 15 min of reperfusion, −dP/dt peak rate of relaxation at 15 min of reperfusion, OX oxfenicine 2 mM added during the 30 min reperfusion period, C control hearts, IPOC postconditioned hearts, IPOC + OX postconditioned hearts in the presence of OX
* p < 0.05 versus C and IPOC + OX
** p < 0.01 versus C and IPOC + OX
