miR-26a-5p protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by regulating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (2), 2020
Reperfusion strategies in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can cause a series of additional clinical damage, defined as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and thus there is a need for effective therapeutic methods to attenuate I/R injury. miR-26a-5p has been proven to be an essential regulato...

Heat shock proteins: protection and potential biomarkers for ischemic injury of cardiomyocytes after surgery

Abstract The heat shock proteins are endogenous proteins with the ability to act as molecular chaperones. Methods that provide cell protection by way of some damage can positively influence the results of surgery. The present review summarizes current knowledge concerning the cardioprotective role of the...

A possible relationship between gluconeogenesis and glycogen metabolism in rabbits during myocardial ischemia

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Ischemia is responsible for many metabolic abnormalities in the heart, causing changes in organ function. One of modifications occurring in the ischemic cell is changing from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. This change causes the predominance of the use of carbohydrates as an energy substrate i...

CIRBP protects H9C2 cells against myocardial ischemia through inhibition of NF-kappaB pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (4), 2017
Myocardial ischemia is a major cause of death and remains a disease with extremely deficient clinical therapies and a major problem worldwide. Cold inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) is reported to be involved in multiple pathological processes, including myocardial ischemia. However, the molecular me...

Effects of Nitrate Intake on Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Diabetic Rats

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: Coronary artery disease is 2-3 times more common in diabetic individuals. Dietary nitrate/nitrite has beneficial effects in both diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It also has protective effects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in healthy animals. However, the e...
