The multifaceted roles of ketones in physiology
Abstract The production of ketones, referred to as ketogenesis, plays an essential role in maintaining energy homeostasis during prolonged fasting/starvation, which primarily stems from its ability to serve as a fuel source to support neuronal ATP production, thereby limiting muscle wasting. Over the years, the field has come to appreciate that ketones

Acute alterations in blood lactate in the setting of transient stress induced myocardial ischaemia
Abstract An elevation in resting venous blood lactate ([La−]b) levels in conditions of myocardial hypoperfusion is associated with adverse prognosis and survival. This investigation aimed to assess changes in venous [La−]b levels induced by dobutamine stress in the presence and absence of myocardial ischaemia and adverse outcomes at 1 year.

Abstract Extensive research in humans, dogs, rabbits, rats, mice and other mammals has consistently demonstrated that coronary blood flow (CBF) peaks during ventricular diastole. For example, studies using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in anaesthetized rats and mice, isolated blood‐perfused rat hearts and Doppler probes sutured to the ...

Abstract Heart failure (HF) with a mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF; 40%–49%) is present in ≤25% of HF patients. Therapeutic treatment options for HFmrEF‐associated exercise intolerance are limited. Nitric oxide (NO)‐independent stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase to improve peripheral vasodilatation offers a novel approach to enhance ...

Computational study of the excitation of human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes
Abstract Human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs) have proven to be a revolutionary advance for tissue engineering, disease modelling, and drug testing and discovery. Computational modelling enables detailed electrophysiological analysis that is otherwise difficult or impossible to achieve under strictly experimental ...

Abstract Acute myocardial infarction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury exacerbating myocardial damage. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been reported to exert cardioprotective effects, but its efficacy in preconditioning against I/R injury requires further investigation.

Sex differences in cerebral blood flow and cardiac function in response to exercise in the heat
Abstract We investigated the effect of exercising in hot conditions on cerebral blood flow and systolic left ventricular (LV) function in males and females, to explore sex differences. The experimental condition consisted of walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h and 2% incline, inside a heat chamber at 40°C (50% relative humidity), for 90 min.
