Source sentences
ISO increased Ca2+ transient amplitude, contraction and L-type Ca2+ current densities (measured with whole-cell patch-clamp) in cardiomyocytes and these increases were diminished by application of the general antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SS31.
