Why the study?
Does inhibition of the ER-kinase cascade by PD98059 and UO126 counteract ischemic preconditioning in pig myocardium?
Population
Anesthetized, ventilated, open-chested, male pigs undergoing an ischemic preconditioning protocol
Comparison
Intramyocardial infusion of MEK 1/2 inhibitors… vs Solvent infusion with ischemic preconditioning
Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
60 minutes of reperfusion after 40 minutes of index ischemia

Should not change clinical practice; leaves open ERK modulation for human ischemic preconditioning.
Does inhibition of the ER-kinase cascade by PD98059 and UO126 counteract ischemic preconditioning in pig myocardium?
Inhibition of the ERK cascade by PD98059 and UO126 completely abolishes the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning in a porcine model.
Strohm et al. (2000) studied this question.
