Comparison of myocardial injury and inflammatory cell infiltration during reperfusion following 30 and 90 min of ischemia. a Assessment of infarction size by Evans Blue and TTC shows equal areas at risk (AARs) but unequal infarcted areas (IAs) after 30 and 90 min of ischemia followed by 24 h of reperfusion (n = 6–7). b Results of echocardiographic assessment of the mice that underwent 30 or 90 min of I/R at day 1 and day 28 after MI (n = 5–6). c Representative images of Masson’s trichrome staining of the infarcted hearts at 28 days after MI. d Average scar area on post-MI day 28 (n = 5–6). e Leukocyte (CD45+) infiltration of infarcted hearts following 30 or 90 min of I/R on day 3 after MI (n = 4). Data are shown as the mean ± SE; n.s. means no significance, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 as indicated
