Cardioprotection via brain-gut-heart signalling: GLP-1 activates KATP channels in coronary pericytes
2025-07-25
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Failure to reperfuse the coronary microvasculature (“no-reflow”) affects up to 50% of patients after unblocking a coronary artery that was causing ischaemia and acute myocardial infarction. This “no-reflow” is associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, increased infarct size, and death. We show that the incretin GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) can be used to protect t...
