Diabetes Upregulates Oxidative Stress and Downregulates Cardiac Protection to Exacerbate Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Diabetes exacerbates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury by incompletely understood mechanisms. We explored whether diabetes diminished BAG3/Bcl-2/Nrf-2/HO-1-mediated cardioprotection and overproduced oxidative stress contributing to exaggerated IR injury. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes enh...
