title: Myocardial Reperfusion Injury: Insights Gained from Gene-Targeted Mice.
abstract: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury involves activation of multiple cell types, including leukocytes and endothelial cells. The pursuant inflammation involves diminished nitric oxide production, influx of neutrophils, and myocardial cell injury. Gene-targeted animals provide important clues about the progression of this inflammatory cascade.
