Coronary flow rates and contracture levels were similar in reperfusion regardless of age or sex. a There was no difference in the coronary flow rate in reperfusion between any of the experimental groups. b Contracture levels were also similar in the young and old male and female mouse hearts in reperfusion. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Results were analyzed with two-way ANOVA, with age and sex as main the factors. Young male, n = 5; old male, n = 6; young female, n = 6; old female, n = 5
