ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

Unique Contractile and Structural Protein Expression in Dog Ileal Inner Circular Smooth Muscle [PDF]
, 2009 This study was designed to test the hypothesis that there is heterogeneous expression of contractile and structural proteins between the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the inner and outer circular muscle (ICM and OCM) layers of the ileum ...

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.This study reveals that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from visceral fat compromise coronary microcirculation in a mouse model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin emerges as a therapeutic strategy, improving cardiac function and endothelial health.

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract The isoproterenol‐induced myocardial infarction model is a well‐established experimental approach for studying cardiac injury and testing potential protective treatments. By overstimulating beta‐adrenergic receptors, this model closely reproduces key features of human heart attacks, including oxidative damage, calcium imbalance, inflammatory ...

Association of myosin with the connecting cilium of rod photoreceptors [PDF]
, 1992 The cilium of a vertebrate photoreceptor cell connects the phototransductive outer segment of the cell to the inner segment. Previous studies have shown that, within the connecting cilium, there is a small cluster of actin filaments, which play a ...

Post Activation Potentiation Is Greater in Human Triceps Brachii Versus Triceps Surae Muscles
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Voluntary muscle contractions result in a temporary increase in twitch force, a phenomenon termed post activation potentiation (PAP). In rodents and other species, PAP is observed predominantly or exclusively in fast twitch muscles. However, it has been suggested that in humans, PAP occurs more or less independently of muscle

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers
Journal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021 Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.
