Popis: Caveolae, lipid enriched invaginations of the plasma membrane, are epicentres of cellular signal transduction. The structural proteins of caveolae, caveolins, regulate effector pathways in anaesthetic-induced cardioprotection, including the RISK pathway. Helium (He) postconditioning (HePoc) is known to mimic anaesthetic conditioning and to prevent damage from myocardial infarction. We hypothesize that HePoc regulates caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 (Cav-1 and Cav-3) expression in the rat heart and activates the RISK pathway. Male Wistar rats (n=8, each group) were subjected to 25min of cardiac ischaemia followed by reperfusion (I/R) for 5, 15 or 30min (I/R 5/15/30). The HePoc groups underwent I/R with 70% helium ventilation during reperfusion (IR+He 5/15/30min). Sham animals received surgical treatment without I/R. After each protocol blood and hearts were retrieved. Tissue was obtained from the area-at-risk (AAR) and non-area-at-risk (NAAR) and processed for western blot analyses and reverse-transcription-real-time-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-qPCR). Protein analyses revealed increased amounts of Cav-1 and Cav-3 in the membrane of I/R+He15 (AAR: Cav-1, P
