Is infarct-sparing effect of myocardial postconditioning dependent on protein kinase C signalling?
These data suggest that postcon modulates PKC during early reperfusion by increasing PKCepsilon expression and translocation to a site other than the outer mitochondrial membrane, and limits translocation of PKCdelta to mitochondria and associated deleterious signalling.
A substantial proportion of HIV-2 infected subjects in this cohort have stable plasma viral load, and those with an undetectable viral load (37%) at study entry had a normal survival rate. However, the sequential laboratory findings need to be interpreted with caution given the number of individuals who could not be re-examined.
