Foetal hypoxia increases cardiac AT(2)R expression and subsequent vulnerability to adult ischaemic injury.
AIMS Hypoxia is a common stress to the foetus and results in increased cardiac vulnerability to adult ischaemic injury. This study tested the hypothesis that foetal hypoxia causes programming of increased AT(2) receptor (AT(2)R) expression in the heart, resulting in the heightened cardiac susceptibility to adult ischaemic injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Time-dated pregnant rats were divided betwe...
متن کاملTetrahydrobiopterin deficiency increases neuronal vulnerability to hypoxia.
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential co-factor for nitric oxide synthases (NOS). The aim of the present work was to study whether BH4 deficiency affects the vulnerability of neurones in primary culture to hypoxia. Intracellular BH4 levels were depleted by pre-incubating neurones with 5 mm 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) for 18 h, after which cells were exposed for 1 h to normoxic or...
متن کاملHypoxia/Reoxygenation Cardiac Injury and Regeneration in Zebrafish Adult Heart
AIMS the adult zebrafish heart regenerates spontaneously after injury and has been used to study the mechanisms of cardiac repair. However, no zebrafish model is available that mimics ischemic injury in mammalian heart. We developed and characterized zebrafish cardiac injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) and the regeneration that followed it. METHODS AND RESULTS adult zebrafish were ...
متن کاملAcute Kidney Injury Subsequent to Cardiac Surgery.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and underappreciated syndrome that is associated with poor shortand long-term outcomes. AKI after cardiac surgery may be epiphenomenon, a signal for adverse outcomes by virtue of other affected organ systems, and a consequence of multiple factors. Subtle increases in serum creatinine (SCr) postoperatively, once considered inconsequenti...
متن کاملHypoxia-induced cardiac injury in dystrophic mice.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a disease of progressive destruction of striated muscle, resulting in muscle weakness with progressive respiratory and cardiac failure. Respiratory and cardiac disease are the leading causes of death in DMD patients. Previous studies have suggested an important link between cardiac dysfunction and hypoxia in the dystrophic heart; these studies aim to underst...
