Acetylcholine Inhibits the Hypoxia-Induced Reduction of Connexin43 Protein in Rat Cardiomyocytes

Abstract.: In a recent study, we demonstrated that vagal stimulation increases the survival of rats with myocardial infarction by inhibiting lethal arrhythmia through regulation of connexin43 (Cx43). However, the precise mechanisms for this effect remain to be elucidated. To investigate these mechan...
