Carvedilol may protect endothelial cells from epinephrine-induced apoptosis more than atenolol; hypothesis-generating and leaves clinical translation open.
Does carvedilol prevent epinephrine-induced apoptosis in cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells?
Carvedilol prevents epinephrine-induced apoptosis in human coronary artery endothelial cells more effectively than atenolol, likely due to its potent antioxidant properties.
