Figure 1 Mechanical function of untreated control (open circles) and hypertrophied (open squares) hearts and DCA-treated control (solid circles) and hypertrophied hearts (solid squares) during preischemic perfusion and reperfusion after ischemia (n = 6 to 13 per group). Significant differences (p < 0.05) are indicated as *versus untreated preischemic control hearts; #versus untreated preischemic hypertrophied hearts; {dagger}versus reperfused untreated control hearts; {ddagger}versus reperfused untreated hypertrophied hearts.
