Figure 3 Tissue tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-alpha concentrations and angiotensin II (ANG II) content of the donor and recipient hearts on day 7. The tissue ANG II content was significantly increased only at the infarct region, whereas tissue TNF-alpha concentrations were significantly increased only in the recipient heart of the ligation group. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6). *p < 0.05 vs. all of the other regions.
