Inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening: a new paradigm for myocardial preconditioning?
One interpretation of these data is that IPC and mitochondrial K(ATP) channel activation may protect the myocardium by inhibiting MPTP opening at reperfusion.
The cloverleaf-shaped indentor displayed an improved strength and stiffness profile when compared to oval or kidney-shaped indentors of similar surface areas.
