Gene expressions of (A) Bax, (B) Bcl-2, (C) caspase-3 and (D) endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in aortic rings.
<p>Controls were given the arbitrary value of 1. Values represent median ± quartiles; *P<.05 versus control; #P<.05 versus ischemic storage; ‡P<.05 versus ischemic storage and in vitro reperfusion; †P<.05 versus ischemic storage and in vivo 2h reperfusion.</p
DNA strand breaks and CD-31 positive cells in aortic rings.
<p>(A) endothelium-covered area (in percentage of the lumen area) (B) scoring of TUNEL staining (in percentage of total cell number) (Magnification x200, bar = 50μm) Values represent mean ± SEM; *P<.05 versus control; #P<.05 versus ischemic storage; §P<.05 versus ischemic storage and in vitro reperfusion; $P<.05 versus ischemic storage and in vivo 2h reperfusion.</p
The sequences for the forward (F) and reverse (R) primers (from 5’ to 3’) and Universal Probe Library (UPL) probes.
<p>eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.</p
