Cardioprotective Effect of Nicorandil, a Mitochondrial ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Opener, Prolongs Survival in HSPB5 R120G Transgenic Mice

BACKGROUND: Transgenic (TG) mice with overexpression of an arg120gly (R120G) missense mutation in HSPB5 display desmin-related cardiomyopathy, which is characterized by formation of aggresomes. It is also known that progressive mitochondrial abnormalities and apoptotic cell death occur in the hearts...
