Cardiac remodeling induced by 13-cis retinoic acid treatment in acne patients
(2013-02-10)
Background: Currently, 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA) is the most effective therapy for acne. Isotretinoin, a first-generation synthetic 13-cis-RA compound, is associated with numerous adverse effects. To investigate the ...
Infarto do miocárdio experimental em ratos: Análise do modelo
(2009-10-01)
One of the most often used strategies to study the physiopathological alterations caused by coronary occlusion is the use of the experimental infarction model in rats. Among other factors, this is due to the similarities ...
Heart failure-induced skeletal myopathy in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(2013-08-10)
Background: Although skeletal muscle atrophy and changes in myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms have often been observed during heart failure, their pathophysiological mechanisms are not completely defined. In this study ...
Cardiac remodeling induced by smoking: Concepts, relevance, and potential mechanisms
(2012-12-04)
Cardiac or ventricular remodeling is characterized by molecular, cellular, and interstitial alterations that lead to changes in heart size, mass, geometry and function in response to a given insult. Currently, tobacco smoke ...
Effect of treadmill training on cardiac size, heart rate and muscle mass in healthy dogs
(G R Journals, 2014)
The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in heart rate, cardiac size and muscle mass in healthy dogs during an aerobic training program. Dogs (n=9) had 10-min treadmill sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. Data were ...
Impact of the length of vitamin D deficiency on cardiac remodeling.
(2013-07-01)
This study was aimed to evaluate the influence of vitamin D (VD) deficiency on cardiac metabolism, morphology, and function. Thus, we investigated the relationship of these changes with the length of the nutrient restriction. ...
Efeito do lisinopril sobre parametros cardiacos e mortalidade no infarto experimental em ratos
(1997-03-01)
Purpose: To analyse the effect of early (<24 h) administration of lisinopril on ventricular remodeling and mortality after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Methods: Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were submitted to ...
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
(2012-10-25)
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is an important cause of heart failure as it is potentially reversible after ventricular rate control. A 66-year-old hypertensive woman presented with a 15-day history of tachycardia, ...
Echocardiographic parameters and vertebral heart size (VHS) in lambs during the neonatal period
(Revista Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira, 2018-09-01)
Due to cardiac immaturity, newborns have a different morphology and cardiac output when compared with adults. The purpose of this study was to describe the cardiac changes in echocardiographic characteristics and vertebral ...
Waist circumference, but not body mass index, is a predictor of ventricular remodeling after anterior myocardial infarction
(2013-01-01)
Objective: The impact of obesity on ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is still poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of waist circumference (WC) and body mass ...
