... to the development of cardiac dysfunction in the setting of HF. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the role of RVLM-C1 neurons in cardiac autonomic control and deterioration of cardiac function in HF rats. A surgical arteriovenous shunt was created in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats to induce HF. RVLM...

... markers collagen I and III, periostin and miR-21 . Cardiomyocyte-specific ERβ-OE improved survival associated with reduced maladaptive remodelling, improved cardiac function and less heart failure development after MI in both sexes. These effects seem to be related, at least in part, to a better...

... of different types of exercise on NAFLD is unknown. This study defines the effect of modified high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on liver fat, cardiac function and metabolic control in adults with NAFLD. Twenty-three patients with NAFLD [age 54±10 years, body mass index (BMI) 31±4 kg/m 2 , intra-hepatic...

... cardiomyocytes, macrophages and the coronary vasculature. The specific role of the MR in each of these cell types in the initiation and progression of cardiac pathophysiology is not fully understood. Cardiomyocyte MRs are increasingly recognized to play a role in regulating cardiac function, electrical...
