Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the death of cardiomyocytes caused by a lack of energy due to ischemia. Nutrients supplied by the blood are the main source of cellular energy for cardiomyocytes. Sodium butyrate (NaB), a gastrointestinal nutrient, is a short-chain fatty acid (butyric acid) that may act as an energy source in AMI therapy. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-Poly (<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) microspheres loaded with NaB (PP-N) are synthesized to prolong the release of NaB and are ...[more]
