Reduced SERCA2 abundance decreases the propensity for Ca2+ wave development in ventricular myocytes.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in beta-adrenoceptor density (Bmax) and distribution in a model of chronic myocardial infarction in rats, and to relate possible changes to hemodynamic and neurohumoral abnormalities. In addition, we examined the effects of 8 weeks treatment with ibopa...
