Exercise improves postischemic function in aging hearts.
Exercise improves cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion in young animals but has not been investigated in older animals, which represent the population most likely to suffer an ischemic event. Therefore, we sought to determine the effects of aging on exercise-induced cardioprotection. Young, middle-aged, and old (4, 12, and 21 mo old) male Fischer 344 rats ran 60 min at 70-75% of maximu...
متن کاملAging and vascular endothelial function in humans.
Advancing age is the major risk factor for the development of CVD (cardiovascular diseases). This is attributable, in part, to the development of vascular endothelial dysfunction, as indicated by reduced peripheral artery EDD (endothelium-dependent dilation) in response to chemical [typically ACh (acetylcholine)] or mechanical (intravascular shear) stimuli. Reduced bioavailability of the endoth...
متن کاملPostischemic hyperoxia reduces hippocampal pyruvate dehydrogenase activity.
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and represents the sole bridge between anaerobic and aerobic cerebral energy metabolism. Previous studies demonstrating loss of PDHC enzyme activity and immunoreactivity during reperfusion after cerebral ischemia suggest that oxidative modifications are involved. T...
متن کاملProinflammatory phenotype of coronary arteries promotes endothelial apoptosis in aging.
Previously we demonstrated that aging in coronary arteries is associated with proinflammatory phenotypic changes and decreased NO bioavailability, which, we hypothesized, promotes vascular disease by enhancing endothelial apoptosis. To test this hypothesis we characterized proapoptotic alterations in the phenotype of coronary arteries of aged (26 mo old) and young (3 mo old) F344 rats. DNA frag...
متن کاملAprotinin impairs coronary endothelial function and down-regulates endothelial NOS in rat coronary microvascular endothelial cells.
OBJECTIVE The non-specific serine protease inhibitor aprotinin is currently used to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion after cardiopulmonary bypass. We have recently reported that aprotinin impairs endothelium-dependent but not endothelium-independent relaxations in rat thoracic aortic rings due to its inhibitory effect on endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production. In light of ...
