EGCG Alleviates Obesity-Induced Myocardial Fibrosis in Rats by Enhancing Expression of SCN5A
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 ObjectObesity is an increase in body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirement, as the result of an excessive accumulation of fat in the body. Obesity could increase the risk of myocardial fibrosis. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors: do they have a therapeutic potential in cardiac fibrosis? [PDF]
, 2017 Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is characterized by a peculiar mechanism of action. In fact, S1P, which is produced inside the cell, can act as an intracellular mediator, whereas after its export outside the cell, it can act as ...

Myocardial fibrosis in athletes—Current perspective [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 2020 AbstractSeveral previous studies suggested that prolonged and extensive physical activity might lead to increased prevalence of myocardial fibrosis in athletes. The review summarizes these studies focusing on common patterns of myocardial fibrosis observed in athletes, their potential causes and significance.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome and myocardial fibrosis [PDF]
Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2008 A 62-year-old man was accepted to our institution because of hypereosinophilia, severe tricuspid regurgitation and isolated right restrictive myocardiopathy, with thrombi inside the right atrium and ventricle. Based on the diagnosis of hypereosinophilic syndrome plus eosinophilic myocarditis, the patient underwent a tricuspid valve repair and ...

Comparison of Non-human Primate versus Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes for Treatment of Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]
, 2018 Non-human primates (NHPs) can serve as a human-like model to study cell therapy using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs). However, whether the efficacy of NHP and human iPSC-CMs is mechanistically similar remains unknown.
