Abstract
Preischemic infusion of transforming growth factor-alpha does not improve myocardial functional recovery after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Whereas transforming growth factor-alpha treatment does affect actions at the molecular level, these actions do not translate into an observable functional effect. This lack of improvement may point to a relative unimportance of transforming growth factor-alpha in myocardial signaling compared with other epidermal growth factor ligands.
