Mechanism of Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Activation by Hydrogen Peroxide in Guinea-Pig Ventricular Myocytes
Using the whole-cell voltage clamp, we examined the mechanism of activation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in isolated guinea-pig cardiac ventricular myocytes. Exposure to H2O2 increased the NCX current. The effect was inhibited by cariporide, an inhibitor of the Na+/H+...
