Fig. 1

Effects of leucine (Leu) on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice. Leu reduced infarct size after I/R injury in wild-type mice. The protective effect of Leu was attenuated by rapamycin (Rap). Leu did not improve the infarct size in mTOR+/− mice *p < 0.05, vs. control (Cont). mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin
