OBJECTIVE
The frequent association between the type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardio-vascular diseases suggests that metabolic factors may contribute to cardio-vascular remodeling. The aim of our study was to examine the relationships between left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), pulse
The present study evaluated the preventive effects of p-coumaric acid on cardiac hypertrophy and alterations in electrocardiogram, lipids, and lipoproteins in experimentally induced myocardial infarcted rats. Rats were pretreated with p-coumaric acid (8 mg/kg body weight) daily for a period of 7
Gestational fructose exposure (GFE) has detrimental health consequences on both the maternal and fetus or offspring in the early or later life, contributing to epidemic rise in cardiometabolic syndrome including cardiac events. L-glutamine has been shown to mitigate cardiac metabolic stress.
BACKGROUND
Fatty acid (FA) catabolism abnormality has been proved to play an important role in obesity-related cardiomyopathy. We hypothesized that cardiospecific suppression of CD36, the predominant membrane FA transporter, would protect against obesity-related cardiomyopathy.
METHODS
Four-wk-old
OBJECTIVE
Metabolic remodelling in cardiac hypertrophy is underscored by a reduction in fatty acid (FA) oxidation. We tested whether this decline in FA oxidation in the presence of enhanced FA supply may predispose the hypertrophied myocardium to lipid accumulation, functional deterioration, and
The aim of present study was to analyze the effect of alpha-mangostin on cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and biochemical parameters in high-fat/high-glucose diet and low-dose streptozotocin injection (HF/HG/STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats.Diabetes was BACKGROUND
Cystatin C is a marker of kidney function and a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is unknown whether this protein may be related to the cardiac involvement that is common among patients with essential hypertension.
METHODS
We evaluated the relationship between serum
In a review of the autopsies and medical records of 22 obese patients, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was present in seven. The FSGS was mild in all but one patient. The FSGS of obese patients has similar features to idiopathic FSGS; however, our findings suggest that it lacks the
Hearts utilize fatty acids as a primary source of energy. The sources of those lipids include free fatty acids and lipoprotein triglycerides. Deletion of the primary triglyceride-hydrolyzing enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) leads to cardiac dysfunction. Whether heart LPL-knockout (hLPL0) mice are
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is a model of cardiomyopathy that displays a genetic defect in cardiac fatty acid (FA) translocase/CD36, a plasma membrane long-chain FA transporter. Therapy with medium-chain FAs, which do not require CD36-facilitated transport, has been shown to improve
In spontaneously hypertensive rats a decrease occurs in myocardial energy supply from long-chain triglyceride (LCT) by CD36 gene mutation-induced dysfunction. We investigated whether long-term intake of medium-chain triglyceride, which enters into cells without CD36, upregulates fatty acid metabolic
1. Cardiac lipotoxicity is characterized by hypertrophy and contractile dysfunction and can be triggered by impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and lipid accumulation. The present study investigated the effect of dietary fatty acid intake alone and in combination with inhibition of
Plasma triglyceride levels were determined in ethanol-fed turkey poults at 24 and 38 days posthatch. Ethanol, fed at concentrations of 4, 4.5 and 5% during the first, second and third weeks, respectively, significantly (P less than or equal to 0.5) elevated plasma triglyceride levels. Significantly
Second generation rats depleted in long-chain polyunsaturated omega3 fatty acids display several features of the metabolic syndrome, including visceral obesity, liver steatosis, insulin resistance, hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy. In the framework of an extensive study on such metabolic,
We examined the development of cardiac hypertrophy in juvenile visceral steatosis (JVS) mice, a model of systemic carnitine deficiency, by varying the amount of lipid in the diet. Cardiac hypertrophy was markedly attenuated by decreasing soy bean oil (SBO) from 5% (w/w) to 1%. Triglyceride contents
