Glimepiride Treatment Upon Reperfusion Limits Infarct Size via the phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt Pathway in Rabbit Hearts
The phenomenon termed postconditioning, that is, brief episodes of ischemia/reperfusion at the onset of reperfusion reduce infarct size, is thought to involve the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. Treatment with a drug activating PI3K at the onset of reperfusion may...
