Comparative effects of antihypertensive therapy with guanabenz and propranolol on renal vascular resistance and left ventricular mass.

abstract：:Several lines of evidence support a fundamental role for voltage-gated sodium channels in mediating ischemic Na rise. We examined the effect of the novel anti-ischemic compound KC 12291 on veratridine-stimulated and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced sustained sodium current (I(NAL)) mediated by sodium channels in ...
