EARLY AND LATE CARDIOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF INTRACORONARY ADMINISTRATION OF 4-CHLORODIAZEPAM IN A RAT MODEL OF ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION

4-chlorodiazepam (4-CLD), a ligand of the translocator protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane, increases cardiomyocyte resistance to oxidative stress. We examined the effects 4-CLD, administered at the onset of reperfusion, on microvascular obstruction and cardiac function and structure in a
