    Summary · context
    In our closed-chest pig-model, we were unable to detect any cardioprotective effect of liraglutide or ischemic postconditioning either alone or combined.
    Summary · context
    Fifty-eight non-diabetic female Danish Landrace pigs (60 ± 10kg) were randomly assigned to four groups.
    Summary · context
    Group 1 (n = 14) was treated with i.v. liraglutide after 15 min of ischemia.
