Objectives
1 To define the role of PKCε in mediating diabetic hearts sensitivity to myocardial IRI and its impact on Cav3 2 To determine if PKCε over-activation is responsible for the loss of IPostC cardioprotection in diabetic hearts and to investigate its impact on adiponectin cardioprotective signaling (Cav3/AdipoR1) in diabetes 3 To explore the effects and mechanisms of PKCε inhibition on adiponectin supplementation mediated restoration of IPostC cardioprotection in long term diabetes
