013 Regulation of gene transcription by hydrogen peroxide in cardiomyocytes
Statistics from Altmetric.com
Introduction
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels rise during ischaemia and reperfusion and may contribute to myocardial injury, remodelling and progression to heart failure. ROS (hydrogen peroxide; H2O2) activates both apoptotic and pro-survival signalling pathways, although at higher concentrations cardiomyocyte death invariably results. Here, …
