Lung function after prolonged lung preservation
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1989 Our previous study revealed significant improvement in lung preservation with a new solution, the UCLA formula, which contains verapamil and is based on a glucose-insulin-potassium solution. In this study, we extended the preservation time up to 12 hours and, using various parameters, compared lung function after 12 hours' preservation with that after ...

β3-Adrenoceptor redistribution impairs NO/cGMP/PDE2 signalling in failing cardiomyocytes
eLife, 2020 Cardiomyocyte β3-adrenoceptors (β3-ARs) coupled to soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-dependent production of the second messenger 3’,5’-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) have been shown to protect from heart failure.
