Hederagenin Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling by Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9A
ABSTRACT Background and Aim New therapeutic strategies for heart failure are urgently needed. The protective effects of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)—protein kinase G (PKG) pathway on heart have been widely reported. Despite phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A) inhibitors combating cardiac remodeling, clinically available drugs are lacking. Hederagenin

Betulin Protects Against Cardiac Hypertrophy by Improving AMPK/Nrf2‐Dependent Mitochondrial Function
Betulin effectively mitigates pressure overload‐induced cardiac hypertrophy in both Ang II‐infused and TAC‐operated mice. Mechanistically, betulin activated AMPK phosphorylation, promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and upregulated antioxidant genes (HO‐1 and NQO‐1), thereby restoring mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes.

Myocardial toxicity in two dogs with natural exposure to ractopamine
Abstract Two dogs that lived in a farm setting were presented to the Texas A&M University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital's Emergency Service exhibiting muscle tremors and ventricular arrhythmias following ingestion of ractopamine, a ß‐2 agonist feed‐additive used in beef cattle, pigs and turkeys intended for slaughter to increase muscle mass.

Opioids in breast cancer: Between analgesia and modulation of tumour progression
Preclinical investigations consistently demonstrate that activation of μ‐opioid receptors and δ‐opioid receptors promote proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, acquisition of cancer stem cell phenotypes, and chemoresistance.
