Non-Lethal Levels of Oxidative Stress in Response to Short-Term Intermittent Hypoxia Enhance Ca2+ Handling in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes

Non-Lethal Levels of Oxidative Stress in Response to Short-Term Intermittent Hypoxia Enhance Ca2+ Handling in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes

Background/Aims: Intermittent hypoxia (IH) may exert pre-conditioning-like cardioprotective effects and alter Ca2+ regulation; however, the exact mechanism of these effects remains unclear. Thus, we examined Ca2+-handling mechanisms induced by IH in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Methods: Cardiomyocyt...
