Obestatin regulates cardiovascular function and promotes cardioprotection through the nitric oxide pathway
Patients with ischaemic heart disease or chronic heart failure show altered levels of obestatin, suggesting a role for this peptide in human heart function. We have previously demonstrated that GH secretagogues and the ghrelin gene-derived peptides, including obestatin, exert cardiovascular effects by modulating cardiac inotropism and vascular tone, and reducing cell death and contractile dysfu...
متن کاملEvaluation of the antidepressant effects of pioglitazone in ovariectomized mice through nitric oxide pathway
Background: Pioglitazone is the selective PPAR-γ receptor agonist, which is prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and may also have antidepressant effects. Nitric oxide (NO) has been involved in some crucial roles, including learning, cognition and neurogenesis as well as some neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and depression. Reduced estrogen le...
متن کاملExploring the role and inter-relationship among nitric oxide, opioids, and KATP channels in the signaling pathway underlying remote ischemic preconditioning induced cardioprotection in rats
Objective(s): This study explored the inter-relationship among nitric oxide, opioids, and KATP channels in the signaling pathway underlying remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) conferred cardioprotection. Materials and Methods: Blood pressure cuff was placed around the hind limb of the animal and RIPC was performed by 4 cycles of infla...
متن کاملCardioprotection: nitric oxide, protein kinases, and mitochondria.
Over the past 2 to 3 decades, several phenomena have been identified that provide powerful protection against myocardial infarction and other sequelae of ischemia/reperfusion1: myocardial hibernation that is related to stunning,2 ischemic preconditioning,3 delayed or second-window ischemic preconditioning,4 ischemic postconditioning,5 and their pharmacological recruitment. Stunning and hibernat...
متن کاملInorganic nitrate promotes the browning of white adipose tissue through the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway.
Inorganic nitrate was once considered an oxidation end product of nitric oxide metabolism with little biological activity. However, recent studies have demonstrated that dietary nitrate can modulate mitochondrial function in man and is effective in reversing features of the metabolic syndrome in mice. Using a combined histological, metabolomics, and transcriptional and protein analysis approach...
