Why the study?
Does omentin affect cardiac contractility and gene expression in isolated rat hearts?
Does omentin affect cardiac contractility and gene expression in isolated rat hearts?
Acute omentin treatment decreases cardiac contractility in isolated rat hearts, likely mediated by elevated eNOS and cGMP and reduced CaV1.2 mRNA.
