Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors: are they cardioprotective?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The heart contains proteins of the annexin family, a unique group of calcium binding proteins. This study was aimed at identifying the major cardiac annexins and determining their distribution in the rat heart. METHODS:Annexins were isolated by affinity chromatography and purified by ion exchange high pressu...
