Protective Effect of Benidipine Against Sodium Azide-Induced Cell Death in Cultured Neonatal Rat Cardiac Myocytes

ABSTRACT: We investigated the effect of benidipine, a calcium antagonist, against sodium azide (NaN3)-induced cell death in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes with increase of LDH release, depletion of cellular ATP contents, and collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) as indicators.
