Figure 3: Typical M-mode recordings
M-mode measurements were performed by echocardiography. In the upper row: sham-operated mice (Sham vehicle) and mice that underwent MI/R with 30 of ischemia and 4 hr reperfusion (MI/R vehicle). The lower row represents animals after MI/R treated with C5 monoclonal antibody (antiC5) 30 min prior to reperfusion (R) or with C3a receptor antagonist (C3aRA) 120 min and 30 min prior to R, respectively.
