Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Leptin and leptin resistance in obesity: current evidence, mechanisms and future directions
Endocrine ConnectionsLeptin, a key adipokine regulating energy homeostasis, has been extensively studied for its potential in the management of obesity. However, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited due to leptin resistance.

A molecular overview of leptin in several pathological conditions
, 2023 Leptin is a 16 kDa peptide hormone that is the product of LEP (also known as OB) gene. The Leptin gene is primarily expressed in white adipocytes. Although the leptin hormone is mainly associated with the regulation of body weight and energy expenditure ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Peripheral Sympathetic Leptin Receptor Signaling Regulates Sympathetic Innervation of White Adipose Tissue and Diet-Induced Thermogenesis [PDF]
The rising prevalence of obesity poses a significant public health challenge, with profound implications for metabolic disorders and associated health risks. In the United States, approximately 40% of adults are considered obese.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1474-1478, April 2025.Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.

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 ...

Regulatory T cell proliferative potential as novel marker to investigate immune tolerance and clinical progression in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
, 2011 In autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) one of the determining alteration is the breakdown of self-antigen immune-tolerance. Peripheral immune tolerance is maintained, at least in part, by Regulatory T cells (Treg).
