Abstract excerpt
The present study tested the hypothesis that protein kinase C (PKC) epsilon plays a key role in the sex dichotomy of heart susceptibility to ischemia and reperfusion injury in adult offspring resulting from prenatal hypoxic exposure. Time-dated pregnant rats were divided between normoxic and hypoxic (10.5% O(2) on days 15-21 of gestation) groups. Hearts of 3-month-old progeny were subjected to ischemia and...
