We investigated the functional promoter repeat polymorphism (GT)(n) in the oxidative stress-induced enzyme heme oxygenase-1 in relation to heart failure and complications after transplantation. No influence of the polymorphism on the development of heart failure, graft survival, acute rejection, or transplant atherosclerosis was found.

    We investigated the effect of CoCl2 on p38-MAPK signalling pathway in the perfused Rana ridibunda heart. Immunoblot analysis of the phosphorylated, and thus activated, form of p38-MAPK revealed that maximum phosphorylation was attained at 500 micromol l(-1) CoCl2. A similar profile was observed for...
