Major differences between men and women exist in epidemiology, manifestation,
pathophysiology, treatment, and outcome of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as …

Despite a high prevalence of sudden cardiac death throughout the world, the mechanisms
that lead to ventricular arrhythmias are not fully understood. Over the last 20 years, a …

Gender-related differences in ventricular electrophysiology are known to be important
determinants of human arrhythmic risk, but the underlying molecular basis is poorly …

A number of gender differences exist in the human electrocardiogram (ECG): the P-wave
and PR intervals are slightly longer in men than in women, whilst women have higher …

Recent studies indicate that the LKB1 is a key regulator of the AMP-activated protein kinase
(AMPK), which plays a crucial role in protecting cardiac muscle from damage during …

Previous studies have reported the sex differences in heart susceptibility to
ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the mechanisms are not understood. The present study …

The cardioprotective effects of short‐term exercise against myocardial ischaemia–
reperfusion injury in male and female rats were examined. We subjected male and female …

Diseases of the heart (eg myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury) remain the major cause
of death in the industrialized world. Therefore, developing a pragmatic countermeasure to …

This study was conducted to examine the role of myocardial ATP‐sensitive potassium
(KATP) channels in exercise‐induced protection from ischaemia–reperfusion (I–R) injury …

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins are highly conserved and widely expressed throughout
nature and found in all organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. They mediate myriad …
