Anisotropic reentry in a perfused 2-dimensional layer of rabbit ventricular myocardium.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors of the nuclear receptor superfamily. It has been reported that the thiazolidinediones, which are antidiabetic agents and high-affinity ligands for PPARgamma, regulate growth of vascular cells. In the present study, we examined the ...

abstract：:A low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological and clinical studies provide evidence that HDL-C levels are linked to rates of coronary events. The cardioprotective effects of HDL-C have been attributed to its role in reverse cholester...
