Ovarian cancer (OVCA) is the deadliest type of malignant gynecological disease, and previous studies have demonstrated that estrogen receptor β (ERβ) serves important roles in this disease. Aconitine, a toxin produced by the Aconitum plant, displays potent effects against cancers. The aim of the
The changes of phospholipid fatty acid composition of the viscera were investigated in a model of aconitinic arrhythmia in rats by the GC method. Aconitinic arrhythmia leads to a reduction in a proportion of polyenic fatty acids (arachidonic, docosahexaenoic) and to an increase in that of saturated
AD6 is a coumarinic derivative which increases both coronary blood flow and prostacyclin production, while it decreases platelet responsiveness. We tested its action on experimental cardiac arrhythmias. AD6 (2.5-10 mg/kg) was able to antagonize the arrhythmogenic action of aconitine in rats and of
The method for inducing arrhythmias or asystole by the application of a 50 Hz alternating current (ac) has been applied to isolated guinea-pig left atria and papillary muscles in order to characterize arrhythmogenic and antiarrhythmic substances. Aconitine, BaCl2 (less than 2 mmol/l) and hypoxia
Survival rates following in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests remain disappointingly low. Organ injury caused by ischemia and hypoxia during prolonged cardiac arrest is compounded by reperfusion injury that occurs when a spontaneous circulation is restored. A bundle of procedures, which
During protracted myocardial ischemia, ATP depletion promotes Na+ accumulation in sympathetic terminals and prevents vesicular storage of norepinephrine (NE). This forces the reversal of the neuronal uptake1 transporter, and NE is massively released (carrier-mediated release). We had shown that
