Cardioprotection by minocycline in a rabbit model of ischemia/reperfusion injury: Detection of cell death by in vivo 111 In-GSAO SPECT

Background Preclinical studies indicate that minocycline protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. In these studies, minocycline was administered before ischemia, which can rarely occur in clinical practice. The current study aimed to evaluate cardioprotection by minocycline treatment upon reperfusion.
