Ischemic preconditioning and glucose metabolism during low-flow ischemia: role of the adenosine A1 receptorR de Jonge
Cardiochemical Laboratory, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Cardiovasc Res 43:909-18. 1999..We tested the hypothesis that ischemic preconditioning is mediated by increased exogenous glucose use during low-flow ischemia, an effect triggered by adenosine A1 receptor activation...
Regulation of proteolytic enzymes and inhibitors in two smooth muscle cell phenotypesH K Lau
Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, St Michael s Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Cardiovasc Res 43:1049-59. 1999..We wish to study the secretion of proteolytic enzymes and enzyme inhibitors from these SMC which may be important for their biological activities...
The role of adenosine in preconditioningJ W de Jong
Thorax Center EE2371, Erasmus University, 3000 DR, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Pharmacol Ther 87:141-9. 2000..Preconditioning with adenosine-receptor agonists offers the possibility for treatment of coronary artery disease, but research in this field is still in its infancy...
Enhanced expression and activity of xanthine oxidoreductase in the failing heartJ W de Jong
Thoraxcenter, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
J Mol Cell Cardiol 32:2083-9. 2000..Our results show that the expression of functional XOR is elevated in failing but not in hypertrophic ventricles, suggesting its potential role in the transition from cardiac hypertrophy into failure...
