Recent studies have suggested that mild redox alterations can regulate cell function.
Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that alteration in the thiol redox state might be …

Myocardial protection in the rabbit induced by ischemic preconditioning is thought to be
adenosine receptor linked, but the signaling pathway responsible for the protection has yet …

Cardiac preconditioning is mediated by protein kinase C. Although endogenous calcium is a
potent stimulus of protein kinase C, it remains unknown whether preischemic administration …

Brief ischemia before normothermic ischemia protects hearts against reperfusion injury
(ischemic preconditioning, IPC), but it is unclear whether it protects against long-term …

We tested the hypothesis that the high-conductance calciumactivated potassium (KCa)
channel is involved in the cardioprotection of preconditioning with ischemic insults. In the …

Background The inhibition of sarcolemmal Na+, K+-ATPase activity is closely related to
ischemic myocardial cell injury. However, the involvement of this enzyme in preconditioning …

The ability of ischemic preconditioning (IP) to protect the myocardium against prolonged
ischemia may derive from improved energy balance. We therefore examined myocardial …

The present study is designed to investigate the effect of myocardial preconditioning with
oxidative stress induced by pyrogallol or H 2 O 2, on ischaemia-reperfusion induced …

The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the protection of ischemic preconditioning (PC) is still
controversial, partly because of the multiple isozymes of PKC and the inability to directly …

To investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the mechanism of ischemic
preconditioning (IP), infarct size and the incidence of apoptosis caused by ischemia …
