Does aqueous extract of Zanthoxylum schinifolium elicit contractile and secretory responses via beta1-adrenoceptor activation in beating rabbit atria?
These results suggest that AZS elicits a positive inotropic effect and decrease in ANP secretion via beta(1)-adrenoceptor-cAMP-Ca(2+) signaling in beating rabbit atria.
After adjusting for multiple baseline and therapeutic differences between older and younger patients, age per se remains a strong independent predictor of both inhospital and 1-year post-discharge mortality rates in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
