Mitochondrial dysfunction may lead to cardiomyocyte death in trastuzumab (TZM)-induced cardiotoxicity. Accordingly, this study was designed to evaluate the mitochondrial protective effects of curcumin, chrysin and thymoquinone alone in TZM-induced cardiotoxicity in the rats. Forty-eight male adult Wistar rats were divided into eight groups: control group (normal saline), TZM group (2.5 mg/kg I.P. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of Sarcomeric Tropomyosin in Striated Muscles in Axolotl Treated with Shz-1, a Small Cardiogenic MoleculeCardiovascular Toxicology - Tập 15 - Trang 29-40 - 2014

We evaluated the effect of shz-1, a cardiogenic molecule, on the expression of various tropomyosin (TM) isoforms in the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) hearts. qRT-PCR data show a ~1.5-fold increase in cardiac transcripts of the Nkx2.5 gene, which plays a crucial role in cardiogenesis in vertebrates. Shz-1 augments the expression of transcripts of the total sarcomeric TPM1 (both TPM1α & TPM1...... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon Monoxide Pollution Impairs Myocardial Perfusion Reserve: Implication of Coronary Endothelial DysfunctionCardiovascular Toxicology - - 2011

Chronic exposure to simulated urban CO pollution is reported to be associated with cardiac dysfunction. Despite the potential implication of myocardial perfusion alteration in the pathophysiology of CO pollution, the underlying mechanisms remain today still unknown. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of prolonged exposure to simulated urban CO pollution on the regulation o...... hiện toàn bộ
Oxidative stress promotes blood cell-endothelial cell interactions in the microcirculationCardiovascular Toxicology - Tập 2 - Trang 165-180 - 2002
Dianne Cooper, Karen Y. Stokes, Anitaben Tailor, D. Neil Granger
Oxidative stress occurs when the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the capacity of the cell to detoxify these potentially injurious oxidants using endogenous antioxidant defense systems. Conditions associated with oxidative stress include ischemia/reperfusion, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and hypertension. The adhesion of circulating blood cells (leukocytes, platelets) to vasc...... hiện toàn bộ
H2S Prevents Cyclosporine A-Induced Vasomotor Alteration in RatsCardiovascular Toxicology - Tập 17 - Trang 287-296 - 2016

Cyclosporine A (CsA) induces hypertension after transplantation. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was found to have hypotensive/vasoprotective effects in the cardiovascular system. The present study aims to investigate the role of H2S on CsA-induced vascular function disorder in rats. Rats were subcutaneously injected with CsA 25 mg/kg for 21 days. Blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method. Vasomo...... hiện toàn bộ
Antioxidative and Cardioprotective Effects of Total Flavonoids Extracted from Dracocephalum moldavica L. Against Acute Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Myocardial Injury in Isolated Rat HeartCardiovascular Toxicology - Tập 14 - Trang 74-82 - 2014
Jiangtao Jiang, Xuan Yuan, Ting Wang, Hongmei Chen, Hong Zhao, Xinyan Yan, Zhiping Wang, Xiling Sun, Qiusheng Zheng
This study evaluates antioxidative and cardioprotective effects of total flavonoids extracted from Dracocephalum moldavica L. (DML). The total flavonoids showed remarkable scavenging effects against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals in vitro. Compared with the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group as demonstrated by the use of improved Langendorff retrograde perfusio...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of the Effects of Methadone and Heroin on Human ether-à-go-go-Related Gene ChannelsCardiovascular Toxicology - Tập 10 - Trang 161-165 - 2010

Torsades de pointes (TdP) is a life-threatening form of ventricular arrhythmia that occurs under conditions of delayed cardiac repolarization indicated by prolonged QT intervals in ECG recordings. The main mechanism of QT prolongation and TdP is block of the rapid component of the cardiac delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr), which is encoded by hERG (human ether-à-go-go-related gene). The opioid ag...... hiện toàn bộ
Why Can dl-Sotalol Prolong the QT Interval In Vivo Despite Its Weak Inhibitory Effect on hERG K+ Channels In Vitro? Electrophysiological and Pharmacokinetic Analysis with the Halothane-Anesthetized Guinea Pig ModelCardiovascular Toxicology - Tập 16 - Trang 138-146 - 2015

In order to bridge the gap of action of dl-sotalol between the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) K+ channel inhibition in vitro and QT-interval prolongation in vivo, its electropharmacological effect and pharmacokinetic property were simultaneously studied in comparison with those of 10 drugs having potential to prolong the QT interval (positive drugs: bepridil, haloperidol, dl-sotalol, terf...... hiện toàn bộ
