Abstract Sepiapterin and its major metabolite 6R‐L‐erythro‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) bind to distinct variants of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which converts excess phenylalanine to tyrosine, thereby stabilizing, enhancing, and prolonging PAH activity.

Facilitation of I Kr current by some hERG channel blockers suppresses early afterdepolarizations. [PDF]
Drug-induced block of the cardiac rapid delayed rectifying potassium current (I Kr), carried by the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel, is the most common cause of acquired long QT syndrome.

QTc Prolongation in Veterans With Heroin Dependence on Methadone Maintenance Treatment [PDF]
Background: QTc prolongation and Torsade de Ppointes have been reported in patients on methadone maintenance. Objectives: In this study, QTc was compared before and after the veteran (n = 49) was on a stable dosage of methadone for 8.72 ± 4.50 years ...

Thorough QT study of the effect of intravenous amisulpride on QTc interval in Caucasian and Japanese healthy subjects. [PDF]
AIM: The D2 /D3 antagonist amisulpride has shown promising efficacy against postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) at low doses. We investigated whether intravenous amisulpride has an effect on the QTc interval in a formal Thorough QT study (TQT ...

Medicamentos que podem induzir prolongamento do intervalo QT utilizados por idosos em domicílio
O intervalo QT (iQT), parâmetro eletrocardiográfico, é um biomarcador não invasivo da repolarização ventricular. O aumento do iQT é uma alteração que pode ser de considerável importância clínica, pois predispõe a torsade de pointes e morte cardíaca ...

Sex hormones significantly influence ventricular repolarization in women treated with QT‐prolonging drugs, with estrogen prolonging and progesterone/testosterone shortening QT measures. These findings highlight a hormonal mechanism for sex‐specific arrhythmia risk and support closer monitoring of reproductive‐age women receiving QT‐prolonging therapies.

The QT interval in lightning injury with implications for the cessation of metabolism hypothesis [PDF]
An hypothesis is presented to provide an alternative to the Cessation of Metabolism hypothesis often invoked in lightning injury. Cessation of Metabolism has been proposed to explain the observation of good recovery after a prolonged period in cardiac ...
