Bradykinin and adenosine receptors mediate desflurane induced postconditioning in human myocardium: Role of reactive oxygen species

Desflurane during early reperfusion has been shown to postcondition human myocardium, in vitro. We investigated the role of adenosine and bradykinin receptors, and generation of radical oxygen species in desflurane-induced postconditioning in human myocardium.
