Our data showed that insulin inhibits ischemia/reperfusion-induced TNF-alpha production through the Akt-activated and eNOS-NO-dependent pathway in cardiomyocytes. The anti-inflammatory property elicited by insulin may contribute to its cardioprotective and prosurvival effects in the critically ill.
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.
