Influence of experimental diabetes on the mechanical responses of canine coronary arteries: role of endothelium.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Diastolic dysfunction is a characteristic finding of the aged mammalian heart. Parvalbumin acts as a Ca2+ sink and enhances relaxation in skeletal muscle, and overexpression of parvalbumin in myocardium increased cardiac relaxation in vitro as well as in vivo. Therefore, the objective of this study is to test...
