Cold water submersion can induce a high incidence of cardiac arrhythmias in healthy
volunteers. Submersion and the release of breath holding can activate two powerful and …

Transplantation studies in mice and rats have shown that human embryonic-stem-cell-
derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) can improve the function of infarcted hearts,,, but two …

Background The present study was to investigate the effects and mechanism of Luteolin on
myocardial infarct size, cardiac function and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetic rats with …

Mitochondria from diabetic hearts are sensitized to mitochondrial permeability transition
pore (PTP) opening, which may be responsible for the increased propensity for cardiac …

Background—Arrhythmogenic ventricular remodeling is hallmarked by both reduced gap
junction expression and increased collagen deposition. We hypothesized that reduced …

Exercise is a potent stimulus against cardiac ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury, although the
protective mechanisms are not completely understood. The study purpose was to examine …

The effect of three-day fasting on cardiac ischemic tolerance was investigated in adult male
Wistar rats. Anesthetized open-chest animals (pentobarbitone 60 mg/kg, ip) were subjected …

Flavonoids are dietary components involved in decreasing oxidative stress in the vascular
endothelium and thus the risk of endothelial dysfunction. However, their very low …

Ischemia–reperfusion injury is a common complication of heart disease that is the leading
cause of death worldwide. Here, we plan to elucidate oxytocin cardioprotection effects …

Augmentation of cardiac sympathetic tone during myocardial ischemia has been shown to
increase myocardial O2 demand and infarct size as well as induce arrhythmias. We have …
