Text: Ischemic injury was similar in all 3 groups (creatine kinase = 4. 1 + / - 0. 7, 3. 6 + / - 1. 0, and 4. 3 + / - 1. 1 U/g wet weight, respectively ; 3 - (4, 5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide = 64. 7 + / - 31. 3, 96. 3 + / - 32. 0, and 61. 0 + / - 30. 4 mM/g wet weight, respectively, P = not significant in all cases), and ischemic preconditioning equally protected against ischemia at all ages (creatine kinase = 1. 9 + / - 0. 5, 1. 8 + / - 0. 4, and 2. 1 + / - 0. 6 U/g wet weight, respectively ; 3 - (4, 5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide = 157. 9 + / - 31. 5, 170. 7 + / - 35. 3, and 138. 4 + / - 43. 8 mM/g wet weight, respectively ; P <. 05 in all cases vs ischemia alone).
