BACKGROUND
Recent clinical studies that evaluated the effects of supplemental omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on sudden cardiac death have yielded conflicting results. Our aim was to clarify this issue using an established and clinical relevant canine model of sudden cardiac
The consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) has been reported to reduce cardiac mortality following myocardial infarction as well as to decrease resting heart rate (HR) and increase HR variability (HRV). However, it has not been established whether n-3 PUFAs exhibit the same
We have investigated the effect of elevated n-3 (omega-3) fatty acid content in the diet on arrhythmias, ischemic damage, and inflammatory cell infiltration into the reperfused left ventricular free wall (LVFW). Weanling rats were fed purified diets in which the lipid was replaced with either corn
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether endogenous nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) can inhibit arrhythmia and expression of β
1-adrenergic receptor (β
1-AR) on the surface of myocardial cell membrane in acute myocardial ischemia rats by Raf kinase inhibitory protein
It has been proposed that dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) can reduce the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in post-MI patients. Abnormal Ca(2+) handling has been implicated in the genesis of post-MI ventricular arrhythmias. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that dietary n-3
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in coronary heart disease (CHD). The level of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids in plasma and cardiac phospholipids was examined in relation to CHD in man. The fatty acid profile of cardiac phospholipids was also
The purpose of this paper is to describe the dynamics of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in major phospholipids of heart muscle. The profile of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids was examined in rats in relation to various risk factors of coronary heart disease such as stress (catecholamines), ageing
BACKGROUND
Independently of the problem of atherogenesis, the amount and type of fat intake influences the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. However, the relative effectiveness of different fats and the underlying mechanisms are controversial. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of
