Molecular mechanisms underlying oxytocin-induced cardiomyocyte protection from simulated ischemia–reperfusion

In conclusion, the OTR protected H9c2 cells against I–R, especially if activated at the onset of ischemia or reperfusion. The OTR-transduced signals include pro-survival kinases, such as Akt and PKG.
