Findings suggest that amelioration of myocardial Cx43-related abnormalities, positive modulation of PKC pathways, and normalization of MyHC can significantly contribute to the antiarrhythmic effects of omega-3 in rat model mimicking human essential hypertension. Our results support the prophylactic use of omega-3 to minimize cardiovascular risk and sudden arrhythmic death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
