    Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 inhibition blocks remote preconditioning in experimental and human models

    Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH-2) is involved in preconditioning pathways, but its role in remote ischaemic preconditioning (rIPC) is unknown. We investigated its role in animal and human models ...
