Experimental aspects of cobalt cardiomyopathy.
نویسنده
چکیده
All chambers of the heart are affected in experimental cobalt cardiomyopathy, with atrial predilection. The primary morphological alteration is mitochondrial damage that possibly reflects an enzymatic block of oxidative decarboxylation at pyruvate and ketogluterate levels. In acute cobalt toxicity chelation of calcium may also be a contributory factor, resulting in deficient utilization of high-energy phosphates. Experimental cobalt cardiomyopathy requires preconditioning factors: protein deficiency appears to be one of them. Vegetative polypoid endocarditis is an important accompaniment in the model used, suggesting that in rats on a protein deficient diet cobalt produced endothelial damage in addition to a cardiocyte injury.

We have previously reported that the sodium potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na/K-ATPase) can effect the amplification of reactive oxygen species. In this study, we examined whether attenuation of oxidant stress by antagonism of Na/K-ATPase oxidant amplification might ameliorate experimental uremic cardiomyopathy induced by partial nephrectomy (PNx). PNx induced the development of cardiac mo...

Objective(s): Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy refers to cardiac muscle dysfunction caused by liver cirrhosis. Seemingly, free radicals and inflammatory factors play a critical role in the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathy. Curcumin has the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties . However, the therapeutic indications of this compound are limited due to its low absorption, rapid metab...
