Harnessing an endogenous cardioprotective mechanism: cellular sources and sites of action of adenosine

K Mullane, D Bullough - Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology, 1995 - Elsevier
Endogenous adenosine is produced by the heart during ischemia-reperfusion as a natural
cardioprotectant. The benefits of this local protective mechanism can be harnessed by …
