Kappa-Opioid Agonist U50,488H-Mediated Protection Against Heart Failure Following Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion: Dual Roles of Heme Oxygenase-1

Backgrounds/Aims: The selective κ-opioid agonist U50,488H protects heart from myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury. We examined whether U50,488H is also beneficial for MI/R induced heart failure. Methods: Anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min of myocardia...
