Hyperglycemia raises the threshold of levosimendan- but not milrinone-induced postconditioning in rat hearts

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The authors examined whether milrinone and levosimendan could exert cardiac postconditioning effects in rats under normoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and whether the effects could be mediated by mitochondrial permeability transition po...
