Figure 6From: Gadolinium decreases inflammation related to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injuryGadolinium chloride decreases macrophage secreted cytokines after ischemia and reperfusion in rats. (A) Representative blots from cytokine arrays from control hearts vs. GdCl3-treated hearts. The GM-CSF and IL-1 dots are indicated. Dots were quantitated and normalized to the positive control dots (lower left 4 dots) and results displayed above (B). Data mean ± SD, n = 3-4/gp, * = p < 0.05, GdCl3 vs. control, += macrophage secreted cytokines, ‡ = cardiomyocyte secreted cytokines.Back to article page
