Acute Myocardial Infarction Reduces Respiration in Rat Cardiac Fibers, despite Adipose Tissue Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Transplant

Figure 6

F₀F₁-ATPase activity in cardiac muscle homogenates. The activity is expressed in nmol released P_i·mg^-1·min^-1. (a) F₀F₁-ATPase activity measured in homogenates of cardiac muscle fibers from the PBS-24 h-treated group () and PBS-8 d-treated group () compared with the Sham group (). Groups are indicated on the abscissa where white bars represent BZ during the necrotic phase (white) and fibrotic phase (gray) and dashed bars represent IZ necrotic phase (white) and fibrotic phase (gray). (b) F₀F₁-ATPase activity measured in homogenates of cardiac muscle fibers from the PBS-24 h group () and AD-MSC 24 h group () in the BZ and from PBS-8 d group () and AD-MSC-8 d group (). Data represent the values. (a) ^# with respect to Sham, within BZ and IZ subgroups () (1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s posttest). (b) (unpaired -test) between the PBS- and AD-MSC-treated groups.
