Abstract excerpt
The Na,K-ATPase is a ubiquitous transmembrane pump and a specific receptor for cardiac glycosides such as ouabain and digoxin, which are used in the management of congestive heart failure (CHF). A potential role for these so-called endogenous cardiotonic steroids (CS) has been explored, and it has become apparent that such compounds are elevated and may play an important role in a variety of physiological and...
