Azelnidipine inhibits H2O2-induced cell death in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

abstract：PURPOSE:The melatonin receptor (MT) agonist ramelteon has a higher affinity to MT1 than for MT2 receptors and induces cardioprotection by involvement of mitochondrial potassium channels. Activation of mitochondrial potassium channels leads to release of free radicals. We investigated whether (1) ramelteon-induced cardi...
