Hydrogen sulfide and PKG in ischemia-reperfusion injury: sources, signaling, accelerators and brakes.

abstract：:Recent findings on the induction of anti-apoptotic gene expression in ischemic/reperfused hearts encouraged us to investigate whether ischemic/reperfused hearts may be protected against apoptosis induction. To analyze this hypothesis we performed studies on isolated perfused hearts of rat. For apoptosis induction, hea...
