The Unusual Circulation of the Newt Heart after Ventricular Injury and Its Implications for Regeneration

نویسنده

چکیده

Why do newts survive after needle puncture of the heart despite significant hemorrhage into the thoracic cavity? The answer involves the unique anatomical changes in the circulation that occur after ventricular injury. If the ventricle ruptures, newts quickly develop valve hyperplasia at the location of both the ventricular inflow and outflow tracts so as to redirect blood flow away from the injured ventricle. In addition, there is collateral flow between the left anterior caval vein and the conus arteriosus (a part of the aorta) after ventricular injury that supplements the systemic circulation and helps maintain vital organ perfusion. During this time period, the damaged ventricle can regenerate.

Resveratrol Provides Cardioprotection after Ischemia/reperfusion Injury via Modulation of Antioxidant Enzyme Activities

In this study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of resveratrol. Rats were intraperitoneally administered with resveratrol (25 mg/kg bw) or vehicle (ethanol 10%) for 7 days and their heart subjected to ischemia/reperfusion injury. Isolated hearts were langendorff perfused, left ventricular functions as heart rate and developed pressure, as well as, heart antioxidant status were deter...

Localization of Epidermal-Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (E-FABP) in Degeneration and Regeneration of Sciatic Nerve after Crush Injury in Mouse

Purpose:The regeneration of axon and myelin sheet after crush injury of peripheral nerves involves interaction of several types of cells, including Schwann cells, monocyte, macrophage and fibroblast. Among them, haematogenous macrophages invading into the peripheral nervous systein play a major role in myelin uptake during Wallerian degeneration. Materials and Methods: In this study 35 C57/BL6 ...

The effect of asafoetida essential oil on myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts

Objective: Previous studies reported that asafetida from Ferula assa-foetida Linn. species and its essential oil (AEO) have antioxidant effects. In the present study, the effect of AEO was evaluated on ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: 1) control group, 2) vehicle group, 3-5) AEO groups and, 6) car...
