Table 1 Control experiments without ischemia

	Time_Control(n = 5)	NO_Control(n = 5)	HEP_Control(n = 6)
Coronary perfusion pressure, percentage	114 ± 7	89 ± 4	119 ± 5
Transudate formation, percentage	128 ± 17	99 ± 14	260 ± 14^a

Values are presented as a percentage of basal and as mean ± standard deviation. The groups are as defined in Materials and methods. ^aP < 0.05, intragroup difference versus basal.
