The Cardioprotective Effects of Late-Phase Remote Preconditioning of Trauma Depends on Neurogenic Pathways and the Activation of PKC and NF-κB (But Not iNOS) in Mice.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A superficial abdominal surgical incision elicits cardioprotection against cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice. This process, called remote preconditioning of trauma (RPCT), has both an early and a late phase. Previous investigations have demonstrated that early RPCT reduces cardiac infarct size by 80% to 85%. We evaluated the cardioprotective and molecular mechanisms of late-phase RPCT...
