Aliskiren attenuates cardiac dysfunction by modulation of the mTOR and apoptosis pathways

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (2), 2020
Aliskiren (ALS) is well known for its antihypertensive properties. However, the potential underlying the molecular mechanism and the anti-hypertrophic effect of ALS have not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of ALS in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) ...

YAP activation promotes the transdifferentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts in matrix remodeling of dilated cardiomyopathy

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (1), 2019
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is an important regulator of cellular proliferation and transdifferentiation. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying myofibroblast transdifferentiation in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We investigated the role of YAP in the pathological process of cardiac ma...

El efecto anti-hipertensivo de angiotensina-(1-9) es mediado por aumento temprano de la diuresis y natriuresis

Rev. chil. cardiol; 34 (2), 2015
Introducción: Angiotensina (Ang)-(1-9) posee propiedades anti-hipertensivas y efecto protector a nivel cardiovascular en ratas hipertensas. Sin embargo, se desconoce si estos efectos están asociados a un mecanismo de desbalance de sodio a nivel renal. Objetivo: Determinar si el efecto anti-hipertensivo...

Eficácia da adrenalina, noradrenalina, angiotensina II e vasopressina na ressuscitaçäo cardiorrespiratória: estudo experimental na fibrilaçäo ventricular prolongada
Efficacy of adrenaline, noradrenaline, angiotensin II and vasopressin in cardiopulmonary resuscitation: experimental study in prolonged ventricular fibrillation

Estudos experimentais e clínicos têm mostrado que uma pressão de perfusão coronariana (PPCor) maior que 20-30 mmHg é fundamental para que haja restauração da circulação espontânea (RCE) durante as manobras de RCR. O principal objetivo do presente estudo foi o de avaliar a eficácia da adrenalin...
