The Sodium-Hydrogen Exchange System in the Heart: A Target for the Protection of the Ischemic and Reperfused Heart and Inhibition of Heart Failure

Sodium-hydrogen exchange (NHE) is among the most important processes involved in pH regulation in the cardiac cell, especially under ischemic conditions. There is now excellent evidence that stimulation of NHE contributes to paradoxical induction

on external innervations to initiate contractions. Heart muscle cells are intrinsically rhythmic and pulsate in unison by releasing electrical signals.        These signals depend on a sodium-calcium gradient (created by a Na

Epithelial Sodium Channel in Planar Lipid Bilayers

Amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels belong to the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC)-degenerin superfamily of ion channels. In addition to their key role in sodium handling, they serve diverse functions in many tissues. Improper functioning of ENaC
