Abstract excerpt
It has been proposed that constitutive expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in the naive (unstressed) state and that eNOS plays a critical role in the early phase of ischemic preconditioning (PC). We addressed these issues using both a genetic approach (i.e., eNOS null [eNOS(-/-)]) mice and a pharmacologic approach (with the NOS inhibitor...
