Figure 2

Ultrastructural changes in cardiomyocytes. (A) Control group; (B) ischemia/reperfusion group; (C) The bromocriptine-treated group; and (D) The haloperidol-treated group (magnification ×8000). In the ischemia/reperfusion group, nuclear chromatin margination, aggregation, and condensation and mitochondrial swelling and vacuolisation were observed. There was no significant change in nuclear chromatin in the control group. Cardiomyocyte injury was lessened in the bromocriptine-treated group compared with the ischemia/reperfusion group but was not significantly changed in the haloperidol-treated group.
