Does selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor stimulation prevent apoptosis in rat neonatal cardiac myocytes?
Beta-2 adrenergic receptor stimulation protects cardiac myocytes from apoptosis via a PI-3K-dependent pathway, providing mechanistic insight into receptor subtype-specific survival signals during ischemic stress.
