cardiovascular system
N |
• transgenic animals do not display reduced anterior ventricular wall motion and fractional shortening after 1 week of perfusion, whereas wild-type hearts show significant reductions
• after ischemia and reperfusion, cardiac output (CO) is maintained near baseline levels compared to significantly decreased CO values in wild-type
|
• after ischemia and reperfusion, extent of myocardial necrosis is reduced compared to wild-type littermates
|
• following 35 minutes of global ischemia and 45 minutes of reperfusion, transgenic hearts display better functional recovery (developed force recovery) than wild-type hearts
|
• infarct size following ischemia and reperfusion is lower than that in wild-type hearts

homeostasis/metabolism
• infarct size following ischemia and reperfusion is lower than that in wild-type hearts
|
• LDH release from transgenic hearts during 45 minutes of reperfusion following 35 minutes of global ischemia is half the value released from wild-type hearts following ischemia
