abstract = {Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether Gs-Rbl relieves the CoCl2-induced apoptosis of hypoxic neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and in which the role of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4).
Methods: Gs-Rbl (0, 10, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 500 μmol/L), adenine 9-β-D-arabinofuranoside (ara A, 500 μmol/L; AMPK inhibitor) and wortmannin (0.5 μmol/L; PI3K inhibitor) only in combination with 200 μmol/L Gs-Rbl were administered in hypoxic cardiomyocytes, which were induced by 500 μmol/L CoCl2 for 12 h. Then, the apoptotic rate (AR), 2-[3H]-deoxy-D-glucose (2-[3H]-DG) uptake, and the expression of GLUT-4 (including in plasma membrane, PM), phospho-AMPKα (Thr172), AMPKα and Akt in cells were assayed.
Results: Compared with simple hypoxia (0 μmol/L Gs-Rbl), Gs-Rb1 greater than 10 μmol/L significantly decreased the apoptotic rate (P},
