From: Endothelial cells release cardioprotective exosomes that may contribute to ischaemic preconditioning

The effect of ischaemic preconditioning on protection by endothelial exosomes. Cardiomyocytes were pre-treated with the indicated concentration of exosomes from control HUVEC (con exos) or those that had been subject to a preconditioning stimulus (IPC exos), before analysis of cell death after H/R. Insulin pre-treatment was used as a positive control for cardioprotection. (N = 3; *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001).
