Hypothesis-generating for PKGIα in ischemia/reperfusion; leaves open clinical translation.
Does hPKGIalpha reduce necrosis and apoptosis in adult rat cardiomyocytes following ischemia/reoxygenation?
PKGIalpha protects adult cardiomyocytes against ischemia/reoxygenation-induced necrosis and apoptosis via mechanisms involving mitochondrial K(ATP) channels and reactive oxygen species.
Das et al. (2006) studied this question.
