Fig. 2. Isoflurane pretreatment protects cardiac myocytes from damage by oxidative stress. Shown are the mean data expressed as percentage of myocytes that died during the course of the experiment. Experimental groups are time control (TC), oxidative stress (stress), and isoflurane-pretreated myocytes (APC). *  P < 0.05  versus stress. All other values were significantly different  versus TC group.
