Nitrite anion provides potent cytoprotective and antiapoptotic effects as adjunctive therapy to reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pharmacological evidence has implicated ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels as the effectors of cardioprotection, but the relative roles of mitochondrial (mitoK(ATP)) and sarcolemmal (surfaceK(ATP)) channels remain controversial.
