Western blotting of myocardial samples at 3d post-AMI. a. Representative western blots of phosphorylated Akt from infarcted myocardium of control and DCE treated animals at 3d post-AMI. Densitometry measurements of (b) phosphorylated Akt/total Akt ratio and (c) values normalized to β-actin indicated increased phosphorylated Akt in controls compared to DCE. *p = 0.02, **p = 0.03 (Control n = 4; DCE n = 5)
