Is sunlight good for our heart? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Humans evolved being exposed for about half of the day to the light of the sun. Nowadays, exposure to sunlight is actively discouraged for fear of skin cancer, and contemporary lifestyles are associated with long hours spent under artificial light ...

Sevoflurane and cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Anaesthesia, 2008
The authors hypothesize that the cardioprotective effect of sevoflurane administered throughout CABG operation may be time- and dose-dependent.

Cardioprotection conferred by rooibos (Aspalathus linearis): A mini review to highlight a potential mechanism of action

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2019
A number of cardioprotective interventions have been identified throughout the years, and these include the use of natural antioxidants in sources like rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) tea.

Impact of hyperglycemia on myocardial ischemia–reperfusion susceptibility and ischemic preconditioning in hearts from rats with type 2 diabetes

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
Background The mechanisms underlying increased mortality in patients with diabetes and admission hyperglycemia after an acute coronary syndrome may involve reduced capacity for cardioprotection.

Modulation of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in the Isolated Guinea Pig Beating Heart by Potassium and Lidocaine Cardioplegia: Implications for Cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mitochondria are damaged by cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury but can contribute to cardioprotection. We tested if hyperkalemic cardioplegia (CP) and lidocaine (LID) differently modulate mitochondrial (m) bioenergetics and protect hearts against ...

Hexokinases and cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2015
As mediators of the first enzymatic step in glucose metabolism, hexokinases (HKs) orchestrate a variety of catabolic and anabolic uses of glucose, regulate antioxidant power by generating NADPH for glutathione reduction, and modulate cell death processes by directly interacting with the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), a regulatory component of ...

Ageing, sex, and cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2020
Translation of cardioprotective interventions aimed at reducing myocardial injury during ischaemia–reperfusion from experimental studies to clinical practice is an important yet unmet need in cardiovascular medicine. One particular challenge facing translation is the existence of demographic and clinical factors that influence the pathophysiology of ...

Endothelin and the ischaemic heart [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Soon after its identification as a powerful vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin (ET-1) was implicated as a detrimental agent involved in determining the outcome of myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion.

M3 subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor promotes cardioprotection via the suppression of miR-376b-5p. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The M(3) subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M(3)-mAChR) plays a protective role in myocardial ischemia and microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in many cardiac pathophysiological processes, including ischemia-induced cardiac injury.

Role of atrial natriuretic peptide in abrogated cardio protective effect of ischemic postconditioning in diabetic rat heart

open access: yesBiomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2022
Background: Diabetes decreased cardioprotective potential of ischemic postconditioning (IPOC), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) induced the cardioprotection against ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The present study has been designed to investigate the
