  1. Mitochondria & NO in Cardiac Ischemia-Reperfusion
    Paul Brookes; Fiscal Year: 2006
    ..Realization of these aims will greatly enhance understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying mitochondrial perturbations in I-R leading to novel therapies. ..
  2. Mitochondria and NO? in Cardiac Ischemic Preconditioning
    Paul Brookes; Fiscal Year: 2009
    ..It is anticipated that addressing Aims 1 & 2 will define new mechanisms by which NO mediates cardioprotection, and that Aim 3 will lead to novel therapies for the treatment of cardiac IR injury. ..
  3. Mitochondria and NO? in Cardiac Ischemic Preconditioning
    Paul S Brookes; Fiscal Year: 2010
    ..It is anticipated that addressing Aims 1 &2 will define new mechanisms by which NO mediates cardioprotection, and that Aim 3 will lead to novel therapies for the treatment of cardiac IR injury. ..
