Resumen:
Ischemic postconditioning (IP) reduces infarct size and reperfusion arrhythmias. To define the role of connexin 43 (Cx43) in IP protection, we analyzed myocardial electrical resistivity during reperfusion and the influence of Cx43 deficiency on these effects. IP (6 cycles of 10 seconds reperfusion/ischemia) reduced infarct size in isolated mice hearts from wild-type animals after 30 min of global ischemia followed by reperfusion (n=7-9/group, p
