Myocardial bioenergetic abnormalities in experimental uremia
PURPOSE Cardiac bioenergetics are known to be abnormal in experimental uremia as exemplified by a reduced phosphocreatine (PCr)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ratio. However, the progression of these bioenergetic changes during the development of uremia still requires further study and was therefore investigated at baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after partial nephrectomy (PNx). METHODS A two-sta...
متن کاملProfound bioenergetic abnormalities in peri-infarct myocardial regions.
Regions of myocardial infarct (MI) are surrounded by a border zone (BZ) of normally perfused but dysfunctional myocardium. Although systolic dysfunction has been attributed to elevated wall stress in this region, there is evidence that intrinsic abnormalities of contractile performance exist in BZ myocardium. This study examined whether decreases of high-energy phosphates (HEP) and mitochondria...
متن کاملMyocardial interstitial fibrosis in experimental uremia--implications for cardiac compliance.
Experimental uremia is known to cause cardiac hypertrophy. In the present study we examined the effect of uremia with or without concomitant treatment of hypertension by the converting enzyme Ramipril (125 micrograms/day) on micromorphometric indices of cardiac interstitium at the light microscopical and ultrastructural level. In male SD rats, 21 days of uremia caused an increase of total heart...
متن کاملMyocardial function, energy provision, and carnitine deficiency in experimental uremia.
Cardiac complications are the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic renal failure. Secondary carnitine deficiency, which is frequently observed in hemodialysis patients, has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure and may impair myocardial fatty acid oxidation. In chronic kidney disease, impaired carnitine homeostasis also may affect myocardial metabolism. In th...
متن کاملBioenergetic Abnormalities of Skeletal Muscle in Congestive Heart Failure
Background Patients with advanced heart failure have bioenergetic abnormalities of skeletal muscle metabolism during exercise. Using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we sought to determine whether skeletal metabolic responses to exercise are normalized by orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Methods and Results Four groups were studied: healthy normal volunteers (n=9), subjects awaiting hear...
