Regulation of contractile proteins in diabetic heart.

abstract：:An in situ preparation of the rabbit thoracic aorta has been used to study the transport of short-lived radioactive isotopes of oxygen (15O16O), nitrogen (13N14N) and an isotope of xenon (133Xe) from 0.9% NaCl into the artery wall. At a luminal hydrostatic pressure of 2 kPa the uptake of all three isotopes by the inti...
