Figure 6 Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1) expression and infarct size. The sham control group did not show any necrotic area. The risk area in all ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) groups (saline-treated, LOX-1 antibody [Ab-LOX-1]-treated, and nonspecific immunoglobulin G [IgG]-treated) was similar. Infarct size was smaller in the LOX-1 antibody-treated rats compared with that in the saline-treated or the nonspecific IgG-treated rats. The data on infarct size (mean ± SD) is from 10 separate experiments. AAR = area at risk; LV = left ventricle.
