Local oxidative stress expansion through endothelial cells--a key role for gap junction intercellular communication.

BACKGROUND: Major circulation pathologies are initiated by oxidative insult expansion from a few injured endothelial cells to distal sites; this possibly involves mechanisms that are important to understanding circulation physiology and designing therapeutic management of myocardial pathologies. We...
