Does activation of sulphonylurea-sensitive channels and the NO-cGMP pathway decrease the heart rate response to sympathetic nerve stimulation?
Our results indicate that NO and sulphonlyurea-sensitive channels act in a complementary fashion, but appear to be independent of each other in the regulation of HR during cardiac SNS activation.
Fibrin glue application to all anastomoses does not alter drain lipase levels. Drain lipase levels are not a significant surrogate marker for clinically significant anastomotic leaks or complications. Fibrin glue application did not reduce the incidence of an anastomotic leak or complications.
