Plasma cholesterol regulates soluble cell adhesion molecule expression in familial hypercholesterolemia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) extrudes Ca(2+) from cardiac myocytes, but it can also mediate Ca(2+) influx, load the sarcoplasmic reticulum with Ca(2+), and trigger Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In ischemia/reperfusion or digitalis toxicity, increased levels of intracellular [Na(+)] ([Na(...
