Apelin: A promising therapeutic target? (Part 1)
Apelin is a recently discovered bioactive peptide, known to be an endogenous high-affinity ligandfor the previously orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Apelin/APJ as a novel signaling pathwayhas been shown to play many crucial roles in cardiovascular function, blood pressure regulation, fluidhomeostasis, feeding behavior, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, adipoinsular axis regulation, cellp...
متن کاملCardiac stem cells: A promising treatment option for heart failure
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The development of heart failure is mainly due to the loss of cardiomyocytes following myocardial infarction and the absence of endogenous myocardial repair. Numerous studies have focused on cardiac stem cells (CSCs) due to their therapeutic benefit, particularly in the treatment of heart failure. It has previously been de...
متن کامل[Mitochondrial dynamics: a potential new therapeutic target for heart failure].
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles able to vary their morphology between elongated interconnected mitochondrial networks and fragmented disconnected arrays, through events of mitochondrial fusion and fission, respectively. These events allow the transmission of signaling messengers and exchange of metabolites within the cell. They have also been implicated in a variety of biological processes ...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase 2 as a Therapeutic Target for Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic progressive cardiac disease with high morbidity and mortality. A key pathophysiological feature of HF is chronic overexcitation of the sympathetic nervous system and release of catecholamines. The subsequent activation of cardiac β-adrenoceptors (β-ARs) results in molecular and structural changes that lead to cardiac hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, or electrome...
متن کاملCardiac metabolism as a target for the treatment of heart failure.
Few things in life are more irritating than failing to recognize the obvious. A case in point is energy substrate metabolism as a potential target of pharmacological agents for improving function of the failing heart. The complexities of hemodynamics, coronary flow, and cardiac structure obscure the simple fact that the heart is an efficient converter of energy. The reasoning is straightforward...
