Mice long-term high-fat diet feeding recapitulates human cardiovascular alterations: an animal model to study the early phases of diabetic cardiomyopathy
(PLoS, 2013)
BACKGROUND/AIM:
Hypercaloric diet ingestion and sedentary lifestyle result in obesity. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of clinical features secondary to obesity, considered as a pre-diabetic condition and recognized as ...
The mini-PET in pediatric peritoneal dialysis: a useful tool to predict volume overload?
(Springer, 2013)
BACKGROUND:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a major cause of death and is closely linked to hypertension and volume overload. The mini-Pet has been proposed as a useful tool ...
Association of the time course of pulmonary arterial hypertension with changes in oxidative stress in the left ventricle
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-12)
1. This study investigates the time course of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to monocrotaline (MCT) and its association with cardiac function and oxidative stress markers in the left ventricle (LV). 2. Male ...
Modifications in nitric oxide and superoxide anion metabolism induced by fructose overload in rat heart are prevented by (−)-epicatechin
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-04)
Fructose overload promotes functional and metabolic derangements in humans and in animal experimental models. Evidence suggests that dietary flavonoids have the ability to prevent/attenuate the development of metabolic ...
Silencing of cardiac mitochondrial NHE1 prevents mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening
(American Physiological Society, 2011-04)
Inhibition of Na +/H + exchanger 1 (NHE1) reduces cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and also cardiac hypertrophy and failure. Although the mechanisms underlying these NHE1-mediated effects suggest delay of mitochondrial ...
A new species of Stilestrongylus (Nematoda, Heligmonellidae) from the Atlantic Forest of Misiones, Argentina, parasitic in Euryoryzomys russatus (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae)
(Springer, 2018-04)
A new species of Heligmonellidae (Trichostrongylina, Heligmosomoidea), Stilestrongylus kaaguyporai n. sp. is described from the small intestine of Euryoryzomys russatus (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) from the Argentine ...
Response to comment on "Cathepsin-l influences the expression of extracellular matrix in lymphoid organs and plays a role in the regulation of thymic output and of peripheral T cell number"
(American Association of Immunologists, 2006-12)
In our article published in The Journal of Immunology in June 1, 2005 (1), we reported that lymph nodes from nackt mice (CTSLnkt/CTSLnkt) are hypertrophied, showing a normal absolute number of CD4+ T cells and a marked ...
Ultrasonographic assessment of maternal cardiac function and peripheral circulation during normal gestation in dogs
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
The aim of this study was to describe changes in cardiac morphology, systolic function and some peripheral hemodynamic parameters during normal pregnancy in dogs. Twenty healthy bitches, 10 pregnant (PG) and 10 non-pregnant ...
Evolution of the strikingly diverse submandibular muscles in Anura
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02)
The most ventral muscles of the head (the mm. submentalis, intermandibularis, and interhyoideus) provide support to the gular region and lift the buccal floor during ventilation and feeding. These muscles show limited ...
The middle ear of the pink fairy armadillo Chlamyphorus truncatus (Xenarthra, Cingulata, Chlamyphoridae): comparison with armadillo relatives using computed tomography
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-01)
The pink fairy armadillo Chlamyphorus truncatus is the smallest extant armadillo and one of the least‐known fossorial mammals. The aim of this study was to establish if its middle ear is specially adapted to the subterranean ...
