Urocortin I postconditioning can protect the activity of cardiomyocytes after hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, improve the mitochondrial respiratory function, and enhance the contractility of isolated heart after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The alleviation of myocardial injury relates to the opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel.
