Coronary flow and edema during reperfusion with ex-situ heart perfusion. (a) Reactive hyperemia measured as the mean coronary flow during early unloaded reperfusion (3 min, 5 min and 10 min of reperfusion), (b) active hyperemia measured as increase in coronary flow between unloaded and loaded conditions, *p = 0.034 females vs. males, * p = 0.033 OVX vs. males, (c) coronary flow during loaded mode reported as mean ± SD, (d) edema formation. CF: coronary flow normalized by heart weight, n = 6–7/group.
