Role of p38 inhibition in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury
The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38s) are Ser/Thr kinases that are activated as a result of cellular stresses and various pathological conditions, including myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. p38 activation has been shown to accentuate myocardial injury and impair cardiac function. Inhibiti...
