It was recently reported that in rats exposure to heat shock leads to appearance of a myocardial heat shock protein (HSP 70) and to an increase in myocardial catalase activity. This correlated with an improvement in post-ischemic function either in Langendorff-perfused hearts after low-flow ischemia...
