Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence pinpoints to the pivotal role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the signal transduction underlying cardiac preconditioning. METHODS: PD98059, an inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (MEK-ERK1/2), and SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAPK, were used to evaluate the role of MAPKs with respect to postischemic functional recovery in isolated perfused...
