Exploring the role of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-mediated reduction in tissue asymmetrical dimethylarginine levels in cardio-protective mechanism of ischaemic postconditioning in rats
Objective(s): Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium results in reduced nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) leading to endothelial dysfunction and subsequent tissue damage. Impaired NO biosynthesis may be partly due to increased levels of asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of eNOS. As dimethylarginine dimet...
متن کاملEffects of hydroalcoholic extract from aerial parts of the sterile stems of Stachys inflata on myocardial infarct size in rats
Recently a potent anti-inflammatory effect of hydroalcoholic extract of the aerial parts of the sterile stems of Stachys inflata has been reported. This study examined whether hydroalcoholic extract isolated from aerial parts of non-flowering stems of Stachys inflata (standardized to contain 4.5% caffeic acid derivatives) reduce myocardial infarct size arising from coronary artery occlusion (30...
متن کاملIpratropium bromide-mediated myocardial injury in in vitro models of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion.
Ipratropium bromide, a nonselective muscarinic antagonist, is widely prescribed for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Analyses of COPD patients, with underlying ischaemic heart disease, receiving anticholinergics, have indicated increased risk of severity and occurrence of cardiovascular events (including myocardial infarction). The present study explored whether ip...
متن کاملCalpain Inhibitors and Modulation of Ischaemia Reperfusion Induced Apoptosis and Necrotic Myocardial Cell Injury
Apoptosis is a crucial event that can initiate ischaemia-reperfusion induced inflammation and subsequent tissue injury. Myocardial ischaemia reperfusion is associated with activation of intracellular death proteases known as calpains. Myocardial ischaemia was induced in isolated rat heart which was subjected to 30 min ischaemia followed by reperfusion for 120min. The effect of calpain inhibitor...
