Sildenafil citrate concentrations not affecting oxidative phosphorylation depress H2O2 generation by rat heart mitochondria.

abstract：:The fatty acid binding proteins (FAPBs) function as intracellular carriers of fatty acid (FA) and related compounds. During the digestion of lipids, the local concentration of FA exceeds their critical micellar concentration; the excess ratio of FA/FABP can be as high as approximately 1,000/1, consequently building mi...
