Na/H exchanger 1 (NHE1) is a ubiquitously expressed protein on mammalian plasma membranes and involved in cell apoptosis and tissue injury. Our previous study found that NHE1 inhibition prevents burn-induced acute lung injury (ALI). However, the potential mechanism of NHE1
Storage of donor hearts in cardioplegic solutions supplemented with agents that mimic the ischaemic preconditioning response enhanced their post-reperfusion function. The present study examines the minimisation of cell death and activation of pro-survival signalling directed towards maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis
To examine the effects of cariporide, a Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-1 inhibitor, on cardiac norepinephrine (NE) and myoglobin release during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion by applying a microdialysis technique to the rabbit heart. In anesthetized rabbits, two dialysis probes were implanted into the left
