Abstract excerpt
Cytosolic Ca(2+) overload is a critical mediator of myocardial damage following cardiac ischemia-reperfusion. It has therefore been proposed that normalization of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) cycling through inhibition or ablation of the Ca(2+) ATP-ase inhibitor phospholamban (PLN), which shows promise as a treatment for heart failure, could be beneficial in ischemic heart disease. However, a recent study has...
