Hypothesis-generating for hypercontracture and radical-mediated reoxygenation injury; leaves open clinical translation and therapeutic targeting.
Reoxygenation injury in ventricular myocytes appears to be driven by calcium-dependent hypercontracture and oxygen free radicals rather than an abrupt increase in intracellular calcium during reoxygenation.
Quaife et al. (1991) studied this question.
