Relationship of post-ischemic contractile function to rates of non-oxidative glycolysis in hypertrophied and non-hypertrophied hearts from male and female rats. Percent (%) Recovery of left ventricular external work was calculated as the quotient of post-ischemic and pre-ischemic hydraulic power multiplied by 100. Non-oxidative glycolysis was calculated as the difference between rates of glycolysis and glucose oxidation. Regression analysis was performed using data from individual hearts (N = 33 hearts; R = -0.49, p < 0.05) and is expressed as mean data per group (N = 5 to 12 per group). Values are mean ± SEM. Open circle, Male Control. Closed circle, Male hypertrophy. Open square, Female Control. Closed square, Female Hypertrophy.
