Involvement of endogenous prostaglandins in ischemic preconditioning in pigs.

abstract：AIMS:Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Circulating endothelial microparticles (EMP) are increased in diabetic patients, but their potential contribution in atherogenesis is unclear. We sought to determine the role of EMP derived under high glucose conditions in the development of atherosclero...
