Does pre-ischemic Ca2+ loading via SR RyR activation or SERCA blockade improve post-ischemic myocardial functional recovery in isolated rat hearts?
Pre-ischemic calcium loading via SR RyR activation or SERCA blockade protects isolated rat hearts against ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting a potential strategy for planned ischemic events like cardiac bypass surgery.
Meldrum et al. (1996) studied this question.
