Nitric Oxide Dependent and Independent Effects of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α on Cardiomyocyte Beating Activity and Signal Transduction Pathways

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The authors are indebted to Dr. P. Fraunberger and to Prof. Dr. A. Walli (Institute for Clinical Chemistry, Klinikum Grosshadern, University of Munich) for the determination of TNFα- and soluble TNF receptor-plasma levels (see Fig. 13) and to Miss Susanne Grill and Miss Petra Ebner for expert technical assistance. This study was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Mu 1010/1–4; Re 714–2/1; Sta 311/2–1).
