Atherogenic L5 LDL induces cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inhibits KATP channels through CaMKII activation

Abstract Background Cardiac Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation plays a critical role in cardiomyocyte (CM) apoptosis and arrhythmia. Functional ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are essential for cardiac protection during ischemia. In cultured CMs, L5 low-density l...
