Advanced glycation end products and acute myocardial infarction.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyse the dynamics of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) after acute myocardial infarction (MI). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Blood samples were taken from 20 non-diabetic patients with acute MI on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th day after the onset of symptoms. Serum AGE levels were estimated spectrofluorometrically. RESULTS A marked decrease in the AGE-specific fluorescence was observed, especially between the 1st and the 2nd days after MI. CONCLUSION The findings of this study tend to contradict the suggestion that AGEs are relatively stable markers of carbonyl stress. Although the reason for this is currently unknown, this observation may have implications for ongoing studies of AGEs in cardiovascular diseases.

BACKGROUND Since post-infarction heart failure (HF) determines a great morbidity and mortality, and given the physiopathology implications of advanced glycation end products (AGE) in the genesis of myocardial dysfunction, it was intended to analyze the prognostic value of these molecules in order to predict post-infarction HF development. METHODS A prospective clinical study in patients after...
متن کاملPlasma Levels of Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products and Coronary Atherosclerosis: Possible Correlation with Clinical Presentation
Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) is a multi-ligand receptor ubiquitous present on epithelial, neuronal, vascular and inflammatory cells, usually expressed at low levels in homeostasis and to increased degrees at sites of stress or injury. The aim of the present study was to evaluate sRAGE plasma levels in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and to assess its diagnosti...
متن کاملOxygen deprivation triggers upregulation of early growth response-1 by the receptor for advanced glycation end products.
Myocardial infarction, stroke, and venous thromboembolism are characterized by oxygen deprivation. In hypoxia, biological responses are activated that evoke tissue damage. Rapid activation of early growth response-1 in hypoxia upregulates fundamental inflammatory and prothrombotic stress genes. We probed the mechanisms mediating regulation of early growth response-1 and demonstrate that hypoxia...

To evaluate the prognostic significance of clinicopathological measurement in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in sheep, acute MI was induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). For this purpose, twenty four healthy sheep were divided into the sham-operated or control group (group I, thoracotomy without MI) and the experimental group (group II, with M...

OBJECTIVE Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have pathophysiological implications in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic value of fluorescent AGEs and its soluble receptor (sRAGE) in the context of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), both in-hospital phase and follow-up period. METHODS A prospective clinical study was performed in patients with debut's ...
