Cell-free extracts from human fat tissue attenuate ischemic injury in cardiomyocytes in a murine model

Figure 2 Fat extract injection improved cardiac function after myocardial infarction in mice. A-D: Representative M-mode images of transthoracic echocardiography; E and F: Quantification of ejection fraction (EF) and fraction shortening (FS) (n = 5); G: Representative images of triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride-staining (scale bar = 2 mm, n = 3); H: Quantification of infarct size. Values indicate mean values ± SEM from at least three independent experiments. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001. MI: Myocardial infarction; PBS: Phosphate-buffered saline; FE: Fat extract; EF: Ejection fraction; FS: Fraction shortening.
