2-deoxy-ATP enhances contractility of rat cardiac muscle.

abstract：RATIONALE:Gq signaling in cardiac myocytes is classically considered toxic. Targeting Gq directly to test this is problematic, because cardiac myocytes have many Gq-coupled receptors. OBJECTIVE:Test whether Gq coupling is required for the cardioprotective effects of an alpha-1A-AR (adrenergic receptor) agonist. METHO...
