STAT5 fits the RISK profile for cardioprotection
نویسندگان
چکیده
How wonderful would it be if there were a simple, cheap, safe, non-invasive treatment that could be administered to a patient to protect their organs from ischemia and reperfusion? Such a treatment might be used to protect the organs during temporary loss of blood flow, as occurs for example during a heart attack or stroke. As unlikely as this may sound, such a treatment has indeed been discovered, although research into the mechanism is only just beginning. A recent paper by Heusch et al. in Circulation Research has taken the first step in this direction, as explained below.

Investigating the role of acute and repeated stress on remote ischemic preconditioning-induced cardioprotection
Objective(s): To study the effect of acute and repeated stress on cardioprotection-induced by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC).Materials and Methods: RIPC was induced by giving 4 short cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, each consisting of five min. The Langendorff’s apparatus was used to perfuse the isolated rat hearts by subjecti...
متن کاملThe Role of Exercise Preconditioning in Cardioprotection against Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Cardiovascular diseases are still the main cause of mortality around the world. Therefore, it is essential to develop practical means to reduce their burden. A wealth of evidence supports the role of physical exercise in attenuating many of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, endurance training warrants protection against myocardial infarction. Exercise, even if performed ...

Background and Objective: The severity of the spinal muscular atrophy phenotype is inversely associated with the expression levels of the SMN2 gene; this correlation is not absolute, for this reason there is currently no effective treatment. The interference of other severity modifying factors, apart from SMN2 gene expression has been suggested. Here we investigate the effects of valproic acid ...
