Ultrastructural documentation of gap junctions after ischemia/reperfusion in dogs treated with vehicle or rotigaptide
Group/Region | Photomicrographs with Gap Junctions Present/Photomicrographs Deemed Evaluable |
|---|---|
| Vehicle/infarct | 2/19 |
| Vehicle/border zone | 2/17 |
| Vehicle/area at risk | 1/13 |
| Vehicle/nonischemic | 15/19 |
| Rotigaptide/infarct | 5/15 |
| Rotigaptide/border zone | 5/16 |
| Rotigaptide/area at risk | 10/22* |
| Rotigaptide/nonischemic | 9/22 |
↵* Significantly differently higher than vehicle/area at risk (p = 0.022, Fisher's exact test).
