چکیده

. . .After them, the (scientific) philosophers appear. . .who proclaim that only they are wise and all other mortals are but shadows flapping about. . . . [The philosophers] build uncountable worlds as . . .they hypothesize without hesitation causes for . . .unexplainable things, as if they were secretaries of Nature, architects of all things, as if they appeared among us from a meeting of gods. Meanwhile, Nature laughs at them and their speculations, because that they have uncovered nothing is demonstrated by the fact that they immediately cross their swords on each single issue without results. . .

Loss of AKAP150 promotes pathological remodelling and heart failure propensity by disrupting calcium cycling and contractile reserve.

AIMS Impaired Ca2 + cycling and myocyte contractility are a hallmark of heart failure triggered by pathological stress such as hemodynamic overload. The A-Kinase anchoring protein AKAP150 has been shown to coordinate key aspects of adrenergic regulation of Ca2+ cycling and excitation-contraction in cardiomyocytes. However, the role of the AKAP150 signalling complexes in the pathogenesis of hear...

Ranolazine antagonizes the effects of increased late sodium current on intracellular calcium cycling in rat isolated intact heart.

Pathological conditions, including ischemia and heart failure, are associated with altered sodium channel function and increased late sodium current (I(Na,L)), leading to prolonged action potential duration, increased intracellular sodium and calcium concentrations, and arrhythmias. We used anemone toxin (ATX)-II to study the effects of increasing I(Na,L) on intracellular calcium cycling in rat...

Calcium cycling proteins and heart failure: mechanisms and therapeutics.

Ca2+-dependent signaling is highly regulated in cardiomyocytes and determines the force of cardiac muscle contraction. Ca2+ cycling refers to the release and reuptake of intracellular Ca2+ that drives muscle contraction and relaxation. In failing hearts, Ca2+ cycling is profoundly altered, resulting in impaired contractility and fatal cardiac arrhythmias. The key defects in Ca2+ cycling occur a...

Margaret McCartney: Doctors should care about cycling.

Charlie Alliston was recently convicted of “wanton and furious driving” and jailed for 18 months. A pedestrian, Kim Briggs, was killed when Alliston, riding a bicycle that was not fitted with a front brake, collided with her in London in 2016. In the wake of his conviction we’ve heard significant murmurings from the media that cyclists, as part of a “minority activity,” have had it too easy. So...

Endurance training induces fiber type-specific revascularization in hindlimb skeletal muscles of rats with chronic heart failure

Objective(s): Previous studies showed that skeletal muscle microcirculation was reduced in chronic heart failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of endurance training on capillary and arteriolar density of fast and slow twitch muscles in rats with chronic heart failure. Materials and Methods: Four weeks after surgeries (left anterior descending (LAD) artery occlusion), chr...
