Abstract excerpt
Ischemic preconditioning reduces infarct size and improves cardiac function in various species, including mice. The mechanism for ischemic preconditioning protection is not entirely clear and activation of alpha(1B)-adrenergic receptors (AR) is believed to be involved. Transgenic mice expressing constitutively active mutant alpha(1B)-AR in the heart have enhanced alpha(1B)-AR activity and therefore can be used to...
