The role of taurine in the pathogenesis of the cardiomyopathy of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been implicated in delayed preconditioning (DP) to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in the heart. We used isolated cardiac myocytes to test the hypothesis that SOD and NOS may interact in the development of DP. METHODS:Mouse neonatal cardiac myoc...
