Free, long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce membrane electrical excitability in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.

abstract：:Like many physiological ligands, several viruses and toxins enter mammalian cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Once internalized, the nucleic acids of several viruses and the toxic subunit of diphtheria toxin gain access to the cytosol of the host cell through an acidic intracellular compartment. In this rep...
