NCX mediates alpha-adrenergic negative inotropy in adult mouse myocardium; leaves open translation to human cardiac effects or therapy.
The sustained negative inotropic response to alpha-adrenoceptor stimulation in adult mouse ventricular myocardium is mediated by enhanced Ca2+ efflux through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger.
Nishimaru et al. (2001) studied this question.
