Research project awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to study leukotriene B4's role in heart ventricular arrhythmias related to type 2 diabetes, aiming to develop targeted therapies.
Description
The project focuses on the role of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in ventricular arrhythmias associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The research involves optical, electrophysiological, genetic, and pharmacological studies in guinea pig and human ventricular myocytes. The goal is to develop therapeutic strategies targeting the LTB4 receptor signaling axis.
