Both PKA and Epac pathways mediate N-acetylcysteine-induced Connexin43 preservation in rats with myocardial infarction.

Cardiac remodeling was shown to be associated with reduced gap junction expression after myocardial infarction. A reduction in gap junctional proteins between myocytes may trigger ventricular arrhythmia. Therefore, we investigated whether N-acetylcysteine exerted antiarrhythmic effect by preserving...
