Abstract
The diabetic heart is resistant to the myocardial infarct-limiting effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC). This may be in part due to the downregulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase-Akt pathway, an essential component of IPC protection. We hypothesized that treating the diabetic heart with the sulfonylurea, glimepiride, which has been reported to activate Akt, may lower the threshold required to protect the diabetic heart by IPC.
