Abstract
The field of mitochondrial ion channels has recently seen substantial progress, including the molecular identification of some of the channels. An integrative approach using genetics, electrophysiology, pharmacology, and cell biology to clarify the roles of these channels has thus become possible. It is by now clear that many of these channels are important for energy supply by the mitochondria and have a major impact on the fate of the entire cell as well. The purpose of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of the electrophysiological properties, molecular identity, and pathophysiological functions of the mitochondrial ion channels studied so far and to highlight possible therapeutic perspectives based on current information.

Abstract
Although angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in heart disease associated with pump dysfunction, its direct effects on cardiac pump function remain controversial. We found that after Ang II infusion, the developed pressure and +dP/dt(max) in isolated Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts showed a complex temporal response, with a rapid transient decrease followed by an increase above baseline. Similar time-dependent changes in cell shortening and L-type Ca(2+) currents were observed in isolated ventricular myocytes. Previous studies have established that Ang II signaling involves phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K). Dominant-negative inhibition of PI3Kalpha in the myocardium selectively eliminated the rapid negative inotropic action of Ang II (inhibited by approximately 90%), whereas the loss of PI3Kgamma had no effect on the response to Ang II. Consistent with a link between PI3Kalpha and protein kinase C (PKC), PKC inhibition (with GF 109203X) reduced the negative inotropic effects of Ang II by approximately 50%. Although PI3Kalpha and PKC activities are associated with glycogen synthase kinase-3beta and NADPH oxidase, genetic ablation of either glycogen synthase kinase-3beta or p47(phox) (an essential subunit of NOX2-NADPH oxidase) had no effect on the inotropic actions of Ang II. Our results establish that Ang II has complex temporal effects on contractility and L-type Ca(2+) channels in normal mouse myocardium, with the negative inotropic effects requiring PI3Kalpha and PKC activities.

Abstract
We evaluated the function of Na+/K+ATPase and sarcolemmal KATPchannels in diabetic rat hearts. Six weeks after streptozotocin (STZ) injection, unidirectional K+fluxes were assayed by using87rubidium (87Rb+) MRS. The hearts were loaded with Rb+by perfusion with Krebs–Henseleit buffer, in which 50% of K+was substituted with Rb+. The rate constant of Rb+uptake via Na+/K+ATPase was reduced. KATP-mediated Rb+efflux was activated metabolically with 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP, 50 µmol·L–1) or pharmacologically with a KATPchannel opener, P-1075 (5 µmol·L–1). Cardiac energetics were monitored by using31P MRS and optical spectroscopy. DNP produced a smaller ATP decrease, yet similar Rb+efflux activation in STZ hearts. In K+-arrested hearts, P-1075 had no effect on high-energy phosphates and stimulated Rb+efflux by interaction with SUR2A subunit of KATPchannel; this stimulation was greater in STZ hearts. In normokalemic hearts, P-1075 caused cardiac arrest and ATP decline, and the stimulation of Rb+efflux was lower in normokalemic STZ hearts arrested by P-1075. Thus, the Rb+efflux stimulation in STZ hearts was altered depending on the mode of KATPchannel activation: pharmacologic stimulation (P-1075) was enhanced, whereas metabolic stimulation (DNP) was reduced. Both the basal concentration of phosphocreatine ([PCr]) and [PCr]/[ATP] were reduced; nevertheless, the STZ hearts were more or equally resistant to metabolic stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The University of Wisconsin (UW) solution is the gold standard for heart preservation but has limitations in terms of both duration and adequacy of protection. Our laboratory has been interested in a more physiologic approach to heart preservation by maintaining the heart at its resting membrane potential (hyperpolarized arrest) with the K(ATP) channel agonist pinacidil. This study compared our extracellular solution (WashU) with the UW intracellular depolarizing solution and quantified the protective effect of pinacidil in both solutions. METHODS Thirty-two rabbit hearts received 1 of 4 solutions in a crystalloid-perfused Langendorff apparatus: (1) UW, (2) WashU containing 0.5 mmol/liter pinacidil, (3) UW with 0.5 mmol/liter pinacidil, or (4) WashU without pinacidil. Thirty minutes of perfusion was followed by data acquisition consisting of left ventricular pressure-volume curves generated by inflating an intraventricular balloon. All hearts were placed in cold storage for 8 hours, followed by 1 hour of reperfusion before data acquisition. RESULTS Post-ischemic developed pressure (DP) was better preserved by WashU (76.8% +/- 3.8%) than by UW (48.3% +/- 2.5%). Diastolic compliance was better preserved by WashU (239.9% +/- 77.2%) compared with UW (711.1% +/- 193.1%). Removing pinacidil from our solution resulted in decreased DP (46.6% +/- 3.2%) and diastolic compliance (688.8% +/- 158.2%) Adding pinacidil to UW had a limited effect on DP and compliance. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the superiority of the WashU hyperpolarizing solution for heart preservation over UW. Pinacidil was beneficial in maintaining cardiac function and compliance. This benefit was not observed when pinacidil was placed into the UW depolarizing solution.

Abstract
P-1075 was reported to be selective for sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive K (sarcKATP) channels because of its lack of mitochondria-oxidizing effect in isolated adult rabbit myocytes. Conflicting results however have been reported on the action of P-1075 on mitochondrial KATP (mitoKATP) channels. The aim of the present study was to reevaluate the effect of P-1075 on mitoKATP channels. Endogenous flavoprotein autofluorescence in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes was measured to assay mitoKATP channel activity. The mitoKATP channel opener diazoxide (100 microM) oxidized the flavoprotein. P-1075 at a concentration of 30 microM significantly inhibited the oxidative effect of diazoxide from 48.6 +/- 7.1% to 28.2 +/- 5.2% of the maximum value induced by 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP, 100 microM) (n = 4, P < 0.05). Additionally, P-1075 (30 microM) significantly inhibited the pinacidil (100 microM)-induced flavoprotein oxidation by 48.4 +/- 3.9% (n = 4, P < 0.05). The inhibitory effects of P-1075 on diazoxide-induced flavoprotein oxidation were observed in the micromolar range in a concentration dependent manner. P-1075 alone oxidized flavoprotein in the range 30 nM to 5 microM, and was nearly maximal at 150 nM (11.1 +/- 1.9% of the DN P value, n = 5). These results indicate that P-1075 exerts diverse effects on mitoKATP channel in rabbit ventricular myocytes: P-1075 has a partial agonist effect and weakly activates mitoKATP channels at low concentrations, whereas P-1075 rather inhibits the opening of mitoKATP channels in the micromolar concentration range.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pinacidil solutions have been shown to have significant cardioprotective effects. Pinacidil activates both sarcolemmal and mitochondrial potassium-adenosine triphosphate (K(ATP)) channels. This study was undertaken to compare pinacidil solution with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution and to determine if the protective effect of pinacidil involved mitochondrial or sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels. METHODS Thirty-two rabbit hearts received one of four preservation solutions in a Langendorff apparatus: (1) UW; (2) a solution containing 0.5 mmol/L pinacidil; (3) pinacidil with Hoechst-Marion-Roussel 1098 (HMR-1098), a sarcolemmal channel blocker; and (4) pinacidil with 5-hydroxydecanote, a mitochondrial channel blocker. Left ventricular pressure-volume curves were generated by an intraventricular balloon. All hearts were placed in cold storage for 8 hours, followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. RESULTS Postischemic developed pressure was better preserved by pinacidil than by UW. This cardioprotective effect was eliminated by 5-hydroxydecanote and diminished by HMR-1098. Diastolic compliance was better preserved by pinacidil when compared with UW. This protection was abolished by the addition of 5-hydroxydecanote and moderately decreased by HMR-1098. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the superiority of pinacidil over UW after 8 hours of storage. The cardioprotective role of pinacidil is mediated primarily by the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel.

Abstract
This review summarizes results 87Rb MRS/I studies of K+ transport in mammalian cells, organs and in vivo. It provides a brief description of K+ transport systems, their interactions with Rb+ and evidence that Rb+ is a best K+ congener. 87Rb MR studies have focused mostly on isolated perfused rat and pig hearts and to a lesser extent on kidney, skeletal muscle, salivary gland and red blood cells. The method has been used for three purposes: measurements of kinetics of unidirectional Rb+ uptake and efflux and steady-state Rb+ levels. In cardiovascular studies Rb+ has been used in the absence of shift reagent taking advantage of the predominantly intracellular Rb+/K+ distribution (approximately 20:1). Pharmacological analysis of Rb+ uptake and efflux allowed assessment of the contributions of various transporters to the total Rb+ fluxes in rat hearts. It was confirmed that Na+/K+ ATPase is responsible for the majority of K+ influx since Rb+ uptake is 80% ouabain-sensitive and dependent on the intracellular [Na+]. Energy deprivation caused by low-flow ischemia or metabolic inhibition reduced Rb+ uptake rate. Under normal conditions, Rb+ efflux is mediated mainly by voltage-gated K+ channels with a small contribution from the K+/Na+/2Cl- cotransporter. Intracellular alkalosis and osmotic swelling stimulated Rb+ efflux by activation of the putative K+/H+ antiporter. Activity of ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channels was revealed by metabolic (2,4-dinitrophenol, ischemia) or pharmacological (K(ATP) opener, P-1075) stimulation of Rb+ efflux, which was reversed by the K(ATP) blocker, glibenclamide. Mitochondrial K+ transport was evaluated in hearts with saponin-permeabilized myocytes and under hypothermic conditions.Three-dimensional (3-D) spectroscopic MRI of isolated beating pig hearts has been used to obtain time series of Rb+ maps of normal and ischemic/infarcted hearts, which showed lower image intensity in the damaged area. Kinetics of Rb+ uptake in the ischemic areas depended on both regional flow and metabolism. The adrenergic agonist dobutamine stimulated Rb+ uptake in normal areas and did not affect uptake in ischemic areas. Drugs that may affect passive Rb+ transport (bumetanide, pinacidil, glibenclamide) did not change Rb+ uptake either in the normal or ischemic zones. 87Rb-MRI was also able to localize ischemia and infarction in blood-perfused hearts. 87Rb MRS/I is an excellent non-invasive research tool for studies of K+ transport in isolated organs and in vivo.

Abstract
We studied the fluxes of a potassium congener (Rb(+)) in mouse hearts by (87)Rb MRS at 8.4T. The hearts were loaded with Rb(+) by perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit buffer, in which 50% of K(+) was substituted with Rb(+). We initiated Rb(+) efflux by changing the perfusion medium to Rb(+)-free buffer. Spectra were acquired every 1.85 min, and the kinetics of Rb(+) transport were analyzed by means of monoexponential fits. The rate constants of Rb(+) uptake and efflux were 0.0680 +/- 0.0028 and 0.0510 +/- 0.0051 min(-1), respectively (approximately 30% faster than in the rat heart). The ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener, P-1075 (5 microM), and mitochondrial uncoupler, 2,4-dintrophenol (50 microM), activated Rb(+) efflux from mouse hearts by approximately 35%. The mechanisms responsible for the differences in Rb(+) uptake and efflux under baseline conditions and stimulation, in comparison with rat hearts, are discussed. These data provide a background for studies of cardiac potassium transport in transgenic mouse strains.

Abstract
Phenylcyanoguanidines substituted with lipophilic electron-withdrawing functional groups, e.g. N-cyano-N'-[3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-N' '-(cyclopentyl)guanidine (10) and N-cyano-N'-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-N' '-(3-methylbutyl)guanidine (12) were synthesized and investigated for their ability to inhibit insulin release from beta cells, to repolarize beta cell membrane potential, and to relax precontracted rat aorta rings. Structural modifications gave compounds, which selectively inhibit insulin release from betaTC6 cells (e.g. compound 10: IC(50) = 5.45 +/- 1.9 microM) and which repolarize betaTC3 beta cells (10: IC(50) = 4.7 +/- 0.5 microM) without relaxation of precontracted aorta rings (10: IC(50) > 300 microM). Inhibition of insulin release from rat islets was observed in the same concentration level as for betaTC6 cells (10: IC(50) = 1.24 +/- 0.1 microM, 12: IC(50) = 3.8 +/- 0.4 microM). Compound 10 (10 microM) inhibits calcium outflow and insulin release from perifused rat pancreatic islets. The mechanisms of action of 10 and 12 were further investigated. The compounds depolarize mitochondrial membrane from smooth muscle cells and beta cell and stimulate glucose utilization and mitochondrial respiration in isolated liver cells. Furthermore, 10 was studied in a patch clamp experiment and was found to activate Kir6.2/SUR1 and inhibit Kir6.2/SUR2B type of K(ATP) channels. These studies indicate that the observed effects of the compounds on beta cells result from activation of K(ATP) channels of the cell membrane in combination with a depolarization of mitochondrial membranes. It also highlights that small structural changes can dramatically shift the efficacy of the cyanoguanidine type of selective activators of Kir6.2/SUR2 potassium channels.

Abstract
1. The opening of cardiac plasma-membrane ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (pmK(ATP)) can protect the heart against ischaemia/reperfusion injury. We recently demonstrated that the resting membrane potential (E(m)) of ventricular myocytes strongly modulates reoxygenation-induced Ca(2+) overload. This led to the hypothesis that activation of pmK(ATP) can influence the extent of chemically induced hypoxia (CIH)/reoxygenation Ca(2+) overload via hyperpolarization of the diastolic membrane potential of ventricular myocytes. 2. The membrane potential (E(m)) of isolated rat myocytes was determined using the perforated patch-clamp technique and DiBac(4)(3) imaging. Intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) was monitored using FURA-2 imaging. 3. CIH/reoxygenation caused a significant depolarization of E(m) and a substantial increase in [Ca(2+)](i). The K(ATP) opener pinacidil (100 microm) and the pmK(ATP) opener P-1075 (100 microm) hyperpolarized the E(m) of normoxic myocytes. Pinacidil (100 microm) and P-1075 (10 and 100 microm), applied during reoxygenation, hyperpolarized E(m) and prevented reoxygenation-induced increases in [Ca(2+)](i). 4. Myocyte hypercontracture and death increased in parallel with an E(m) depolarization of 10-15 mV and increases in [Ca(2+)](i). Under these conditions, the selective pmK(ATP) channel inhibitor HMR 1098 further depolarized myocyte membrane potential and increased hypercontracture. 5. In conclusion, activation of pmK(ATP) channels can prevent CIH/reoxygenation-induced Ca(2+) overload via a mechanism that is dependent on hyperpolarization of diastolic membrane potential. Hyperpolarization toward normal resting membrane potential favours the Ca(2+) extrusion mode of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange.

Abstract
We investigated consequences of cardiac arrest on sarcolemmal and mitochondrial effects of ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) opener, P-1075, in Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. Depolarised cardiac arrest (24.7 mM KCl) did not affect glibenclamide-sensitive twofold activation of rubidium efflux by P-1075 (5 microM) from rubidium-loaded hearts, but eliminated uncoupling produced by P-1075 in beating hearts: 40% depletion of phosphocreatine and ATP, 50% increase in oxygen consumption, and reduction of cytochrome c oxidase. Depolarized cardiac arrest by calcium channel blocker, verapamil (5 microM), also prevented uncoupling. Lack of P-1075 mitochondrial effects in depolarized hearts was not due to changes in phosphorylation potential, because 2,4-dintrophenol (10 microM) reversed the [PCr]/[Cr] increase and Pi decrease, characteristic of KCl-arrest, but did not restore uncoupling. In agreement with this conclusion, pyruvate (5 mM) increased [PCr]/[Cr] and decreased Pi, but did not prevent uncoupling in beating hearts. A decrease in mean [Ca2+] in KCl-arrested hearts could not account for lack of P-1075 mitochondrial effects, because calcium channel opener, S-(-)-Bay K8644 (50 nM), and beta-agonist, isoproterenol (0.5 microM), did not facilitate uncoupling. In contrast, in adenosine (1 mM)-arrested hearts (polarized arrest), P-1075 caused 40% phosphocreatine and ATP depletion. In isolated rat liver mitochondria, P-1075 (20 microM) decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi) by approximately 14 mV (demonstrated by redistribution of DeltaPsi-sensitive dye, rhodamine 800) in a glibenclamide-sensitive manner. We concluded that cell membrane depolarization does not prevent activation of sarcolemmal KATP by P-1075, but it plays a role in mitochondrial uncoupling effects of P-1075.

Abstract
We investigated effects of blockade of cardiac ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) with a novel cardioselective sulfonylthiourea, HMR 1098, on metabolic uncoupling caused by a potent KATP opener, P-1075, in Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. We used (1) 87Rb-NMR to detect activation-deactivation of sarcolemmal KATP, (2) 31P-NMR to monitor high-energy phosphates, (3) oxygen uptake measurements to monitor cellular respiration, and (4) myocardial optical absorbance measurements at 603 nm to follow changes in cytochrome c oxidase redox state. Activation of sarcolemmal KATP by P-1075 (5 microM) and a mitochondrial uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) (50 microM) stimulated Rb+ efflux from the hearts by 130% and 60%, respectively. HMR 1098 (5 and 30 microM) blocked activation of sarcolemmal KATP in situ. HMR 1098 also prevented cardiac arrest and mitochondrial uncoupling induced by P-1075, such as (a) depletion of phosphocreatine and ATP by 40%, (b) two-fold decrease in venous oxygen, and (c) reduction of cytochrome c oxidase (demonstrated by an increase in 603 nm optical absorbance). The metabolic effects of P-1075 can be readily explained by activation of putative mitochondrial KATP. We concluded that blockade of mitochondrial uncoupling by HMR 1098 included an inhibiting effect of HMR 1098 on sarcolemmal and mitochondrial KATP in beating rat hearts.

Abstract
Modulation of mitochondrial respiratory chain, dehydrogenase, and nucleotide-metabolizing enzyme activities is fundamental to cellular protection. Here, we demonstrate that the potassium channel opener diazoxide, within its cardioprotective concentration range, modulated the activity of flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent succinate dehydrogenase with an IC50 of 32 microM and reduced the rate of succinate-supported generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in heart mitochondria. 5-Hydroxydecanoic fatty acid circumvented diazoxide-inhibited succinate dehydrogenase-driven electron flow, indicating a metabolism-dependent supply of redox equivalents to the respiratory chain. In perfused rat hearts, diazoxide diminished the generation of malondialdehyde, a marker of oxidative stress, which, however, increased on diazoxide washout. This effect of diazoxide mimicked ischemic preconditioning and was associated with reduced oxidative damage on ischemia-reperfusion. Diazoxide reduced cellular and mitochondrial ATPase activities, along with nucleotide degradation, contributing to preservation of myocardial ATP levels during ischemia. Thus, by targeting nucleotide-requiring enzymes, particularly mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and cellular ATPases, diazoxide reduces ROS generation and nucleotide degradation, resulting in preservation of myocardial energetics under stress.

Abstract
We recently showed that activation of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in PC12 cells induces protection against the neurotoxic effect of rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor. In this study, we sought to determine the locus of the KATP channels that mediate this protection in PC12 cells. We found that pretreatment of PC12 cells with diazoxide, a mitochondrial KATP channel selective opener, dose-dependently increases cell viability against rotenone-induced cell death as indicated in trypan blue exclusion assays. The protective effect of this preconditioning is attenuated by 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD), a selective mitochondrial KATP channel antagonist but not in the presence of HMR-1098, a selective plasma membrane KATP potassium channel antagonist. In contrast, P-1075, a selective plasma membrane KATP channel opener, does not induce protection. Using specific antibodies against SUR1 and Kir6.1, we detected immunoreactive proteins of apparent molecular masses 155 and 50 kDa, corresponding to those previously reported for SUR1 and Kir6.1, respectively, in the mitochondria-enriched fraction of PC12 cells. In addition, whole cell patch-clamp studies revealed that inward currents in PC12 cells are insensitive to P-1075, HMR-1098, glibenclamide and diazoxide, indicating that functional plasma membrane KATP channels are negligible. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time that activation of mitochondrial KATP channels elicits protection against rotenone-induced cell death.

Abstract
The study evaluated effects of hyposmotic shock on the rate of Rb(+)/K(+) efflux, intracellular pH and energetics in Langendorff-perfused rat hearts with the help of 87Rb- and 31P-NMR. Two models of hyposmotic shock were compared: (1) normosmotic hearts perfused with low [NaCl] (70 mM) buffer, (2) hyperosmotic hearts equilibrated with additional methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside (Me-GPD, 90 or 33 mM) or urea (90 mM) perfused with normosmotic buffer. Four minutes after hyposmotic shock, Rb(+) efflux rate constant transiently increased approximately two-fold, while pH transiently decreased by 0.08 and 0.06 units, in the first and the second models, respectively, without significant changes in phosphocreatine and ATP. Hyposmotic shock (second model) did not change the rate of Rb(+)/K(+) uptake, indicating that the activity of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase was not affected. Dimethylamiloride (DMA) (10 microM) abolished activation of the Rb(+)/K(+) efflux in the second model; however, Na(+)/H(+) exchanger was not involved, because intracellular acidosis induced by the hyposmotic shock was not enhanced by DMA treatment. After 12 or 20 min of global ischemia, the rate of Rb(+)/K(+) efflux increased by 120%. Inhibitor of the ATP-sensitive potassium channels, glibenclamide (5 microM), partially (40%) decreased the rate constant; however, reperfusion with hyperosmolar buffer (90 mM Me-GPD) did not. We concluded that the shock-induced stimulation of Rb(+)/K(+) efflux occurred, at least partially, through the DMA-sensitive cation/H(+) exchanger and swelling-induced mechanisms did not considerably contribute to the ischemia-reperfusion-induced activation of Rb(+)/K(+) efflux.

Abstract
The effects of drugs that can modulate passive permeability of K(+) into cardiomyocytes in normal and reperfusion-damaged cardiac muscle were assessed. Rubidium ion (Rb(+)) was used as a K(+) tracer and (87)Rb-MRI as a detection method. The left anterior descending artery (LAD) of isolated pig hearts perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) was occluded for 2 h and subsequently reperfused for 2 h with KHB containing 4.7 mM RbCl instead of KCl. The buffer contained either a blocker of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP)), glibenclamide (Glib, 3 micro M), a K(ATP) opener, pinacidil (Pin, 10 micro M), a K(+)/Na(+)/2Cl(-) co-transporter inhibitor, bumetanide (Bum, 10 micro M) or no drug (control). Upon reperfusion three-dimensional (87)Rb MR images were acquired to obtain kinetics of Rb(+) uptake and its distribution. Areas at risk (AAR) and areas of necrosis were determined by Evans Blue and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining, respectively. Rb(+) uptake kinetics in the remote posterior (Pos) wall were similar in all groups. The kinetics remained monoexponential in the affected anterior (Ant) wall and the uptake rates were 32, 36, 37 and 21% of that in the Pos wall in the control, Glib, Pin and Bum groups, respectively. Infarct sizes determined histologically as a percentage of total ventricular (left + right) mass (14-22%) corresponded to sizes of areas with 20-40% of maximal Rb image intensity [I(Rb)(max), 15-22%], except for the Pin group (12.5 vs 21%). The sizes of areas with 20-50% of I(Rb)(max) (30-36%) closely correlated with those of AAR determined histologically (31-33%). Lactate dehydrogenase release did not differ in all groups. We conclude that: (1) reperfusion damage quickly inhibits Rb(+) uptake; (2) Rb(+) uptake in normal and reperfused tissue does not significantly depend on K(ATP) or the K(+)/Na(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter; (3) areas with 20-40% of maximal image intensity correspond to infarct areas.
