Renalase Protects the Cardiomyocytes of Sprague-Dawley Rats Against Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury by Reducing Myocardial Cell Necrosis and Apoptosis

Background/Aims: Renalase, a novel flavoprotein expressed in the kidney and heart, reduces renal tubular necrosis and apoptosis, which suggests that it might protect against necrosis and/or apoptosis in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI). The present study thus explored the effects of ren...
