Tongxinluo Protects against Pressure Overload–Induced Heart Failure in Mice Involving VEGF/Akt/eNOS Pathway Activation
BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that Tongxinluo (TXL), a traditional Chinese medicine compound, improves ischemic heart disease in animal models via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The present study aimed to investigate whether TXL protects against pressure overload-induced heart failure in mice and explore the possible mechanism of ac...
متن کاملEicosapentaenoic Acid Protects against Palmitic Acid-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction via Activation of the AMPK/eNOS Pathway
Recent studies have shown that free fatty acids are associated with chronic inflammation, which may be involved in vascular injury. The intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can decrease cardiovascular disease risks, but the protective mechanisms of EPA on endothelial cells remain unclear. In this study, primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with palmitic acid (PA) wer...
متن کاملNorth American ginseng protects the heart from ischemia and reperfusion injury via upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
Emerging evidence suggests ginseng has therapeutic potential in cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the cardioprotective effects of ginseng during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Treatment with ginseng extract significantly increased Akt phosphorylation and eNOS protein levels in cultured neonatal ca...
متن کاملConcentric left ventricular remodeling in endothelial nitric oxide synthase knockout mice by chronic pressure overload.
OBJECTIVE Heart failure as a consequence of sustained hemodynamic overload is among the most prevalent diseases in developed countries. The aim of the present study was to investigate the specific role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in pressure overload-induced left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS Chronic pressure-overload LV hypertrophy was induced by abdominal...
متن کاملEndogenous hydrogen sulphide mediates the cardioprotection induced by ischemic postconditioning.
The present study aimed to investigate the role of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in the cardioprotection induced by ischemic postconditioning and to examine the underlying mechanisms. Cardiodynamics and myocardial infarction were measured in isolated rat hearts. Postconditioning with six episodes of 10-s ischemia (IPostC) significantly improved cardiodynamic function, which was attenuated by the bloc...
