In rats with myocardial infarction, a single bolus of pHBP right after coronary ligation reduced apoptosis in the area at risk by 80% at 24 h, similar to erythropoietin.
In plain wordsIn rats with a heart attack, one injection of pHBP reduced cell death in the at-risk heart area, like erythropoietin did.

In an experimental model of myocardial infarction induced by permanent ligation of a coronary artery in rats, a single bolus injection of 60 μg/kg of pHBP immediately after coronary ligation, similar to EPO, reduced apoptosis in the myocardial area at risk, examined 24 h later, by 80% and inflammation by 34%.
