Cardioprotection gain with Apelin-13: a matter of signaling.

Apelin-13, a biologically active C-terminal peptide resulting from maturation of preproapelin, is an effective post-conditioning mimetic agent which is mainly expressed in cardiomyocytes and coronary endothelial cells of failing heart.1-2 A significant effort to unravel the intricate signaling mechanisms of apelin 13-induced cardioprotection can be exemplified in an elegant study by Folino et al.3 in the current issue.
