Abstract
⺠We investigated whether ATP release was regulated during ischemia in cardiomyocytes. ⺠Ischemic stress rapidly increased the extracellular ATP. ⺠The ATP increase was reversed by treatment with blockers of maxi-anion channels. ⺠Maxi-anion channel blocking at later ischemia paradoxically increased ATP release. ⺠The increase was significantly suppressed by co-treatment with hemichannel blockers.
