Ca2+ preconditioning attenuates Ca2+ paradox injury in rat hearts; hypothesis-generating for human cardioprotection, requiring in vivo and clinical validation.
Does Ca2+ preconditioning prevent lethal injury from Ca2+ paradox in rat hearts?
Ca2+ preconditioning protects rat hearts against Ca2+ paradox-induced lethal injury, likely mediated by adenosine release and Gi-protein mechanisms.
