Fig. 3. Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the area at risk (AAR) in rabbits receiving H-89, desflurane (DES), sevoflurane (SEVO), or ischemic preconditioning (IPC) alone or in combination with H-89, respectively. Note that data from control (CON), DES, SEVO, and IPC are the same as in figure 2 . Values are mean ± SEM. * Significantly ( P < 0.05) different from CON. # Significantly ( P < 0.05) different from DES. § Significantly ( P < 0.05) different from SEVO.
