Glycine attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting myocardial apoptosis in rats
Glycine is a well-documented cytoprotective agent. However, whether it has a protective effect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo is still unknown. By using an open-chest anesthetized rat model, we found that glycine reduced the infarct size by 21% in ischemia-reperfusion injury...
