Identification of candidate genes and pathways in dexmedetomidine-induced cardioprotection in the rat heart by bioinformatics analysis [miRNA]. Identification of candidate genes and pathways in dexmedetomidine-induced cardioprotection in the rat heart by bioinformatics analysis [miRNA]

Differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs after dexmedetomidine administration in rat hearts were successfully identified by conducting microarray analysis. Overall design: mRNA and miRNA microarray analysis were conducted in a control group (administration of saline) and a dexmedetomidine group (administration of dexmedetomidine) using rat hearts
