Involvement of the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter in Cardioprotection by Ischemic Preconditioning

Background Ischemic preconditioning (IPC. which was originally identified by Murry et al.)provides powerful I protection to the ischemic myocardium.Although a variety of intracellular signaling pathways have been implicated in this protection,the precise mechanisms remain elusive
