ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 2 PROTECTS AGAINST POST-CARDIAC ARREST MYOCARDIAL DYSFUNCTION THROUGH A NOVEL MECHANISM OF SUPPRESSING MITOCHONDRIAL REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES PRODUCTION

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Protects Against Post-Cardiac Arrest Myocardial Dysfunction Through a Novel Mechanism of Suppressing Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Production

Post-cardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction significantly contributes to early mortality after the return of spontaneous circulation.However, no effective therapy is available now.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) enzyme has been shown to protect the heart from aldehyde toxicity such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and oxidative stress.In this study,
