Mechanisms of cardioprotective effects of magnesium on hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced injury
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
During cardiac ischemia or hypoxia, increased levels of extracellular Mg show cardioprotective effects. The mechanisms of high level Mg-induced cardioprotection were examined in Langendorff perfused rat hearts. In the control group (1.2 mM Mg during hypoxia), the recovery of the left ventricular dev...
