Chronic Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia Ameliorates Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Calcium Overload in Heart via Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger in Developing Rats

Background/Aims: Chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) protects the heart against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study investigated the calcium homeostasis mechanism and the role of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) in the cardiac protective effect of CIHH in developing rats. Methods: Neonat...
