Cardiovascular dysfunction in Zucker obese and Zucker diabetic fatty rats: role of hydronephrosis.
Recent studies in our laboratory using the Zucker obese (ZO) and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat models resulted in unexpectedly high mortality rates in all genotypes including healthy homozygous lean Zucker rats, possibly because of renal dysfunction. Therefore, we evaluated left ventricular (LV) and kidney morphology and function in young ZO, Zucker diabetic fatty obese (ZDFO), homozygous Zuc...
متن کاملRole of Adenosine receptor in lung cancer
Summary: Adenosine through adenosine receptor have a crucial role in biology of lung cancer. Recent study indicated adenosine receptors have a crucial role in various aspect of lung cancer from cell growth and metastasis to modulation of apoptosis and it could be considered as a potential candidate for treatment of the lung cancer.
متن کاملPulmonary arterial dysfunction in insulin resistant obese Zucker rats
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance and obesity are strongly associated with systemic cardiovascular diseases. Recent reports have also suggested a link between insulin resistance with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to analyze pulmonary vascular function in the insulin resistant obese Zucker rat. METHODS Large and small pulmonary arteries from obese Zucker rat and their ...
متن کاملA1 adenosine receptor antagonism improves glucose tolerance in Zucker rats.
The A1 adenosine receptor (A1ar) antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-8-( p-acrylic)phenylxanthine (BW-1433) was administered to lean and obese Zucker rats to probe the influence of endogenously activated A1ars on whole body energy metabolism. The drug induced a transient increase in lipolysis as indicated by a rise in serum glycerol in obese rats. The disappearance of the response by day 7 of chronic studi...
متن کاملRenal dopamine D(1) receptor dysfunction is acquired and not inherited in obese Zucker rats.
In essential hypertension, the defect in renal dopamine (DA) D(1) receptor function is intrinsic to proximal tubules as this phenomenon is also seen in primary proximal tubule cultures from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and essential hypertensive patients. Previously, a defect was reported in renal D(1) receptor function in obese Zucker rats. In the present study, we sought to determine...
