From: Enhancing outcomes in Langendorff-perfused rodent hearts through perfusion parameter optimization
Viability markers of hearts perfused without pharmacological treatment, with infusion of adenosine only or infusion with adenosine and epinephrine. Vascular resistance (A), percent weight gain (B), adenylated energy charge (C), oxygen uptake rate D), representative H&E images of right and left ventricle and coronary arteries (E-M). Scale bar ventricle images 200 μm. Scale bar coronary arteries 50 μm. Data presented as median ± interquartile range. Wilcoxon/Kruskal-Wallis Test with Dunn post-hoc analysis on non-parametric medians. Repeated measures two-way ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer HSD post-hoc analysis on standard least squares means. * = p < 0.05, ** = p ≤ 0.01, **** = p ≤ 0.0001.
