چکیده

Incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is associated with increased mortality in diabetic patients. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been indicated to play a key role in the pathogenesis and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Accumulating evidence suggests that resveratrol, a polyphenol, exerts cardiovascular protective effects. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of chronic resveratrol administration on mitochondrial injury and cardiac function in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of DCM. After the successful induction of hyperglycemia for 8 weeks, resveratrol was intraperitoneally injected (2.5 mg/Kg/day) as treatment for 8 weeks. Echocardiography, histological analyses, myocardial succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase activities, and mitochondrial membrane potential were analyzed to evaluate the changes of cardiac structures and functions, myocardial apoptosis, as well as mitochondrial function following resveratrol treatment. Results of above analyses indicated that chronic resveratrol administration was associated with relieved mitochondrial swell and membrane loss, increase mitochondrial enzymes activities, and mitochondrial membrane potential, suggesting a potential role of resveratrol for the attenuation of mitochondrial injury. Moreover, chronic resveratrol administration was also related to significantly improved cardiac systolic dysfunction and reduced myocardial fibrosis, demonstrating a beneficial effect of resveratrol on cardiac remodeling. Overall, results of our study suggest that chronic resveratrol treatment may improve cardiac function and cardiac remodeling in rat model of DCM possibly via attenuation of myocardial mitochondrial injury and apoptosis.

Evaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics

Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria.  Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...

Resveratrol-enhanced autophagic flux ameliorates myocardial oxidative stress injury in diabetic mice

Autophagic dysfunction is observed in diabetes mellitus. Resveratrol has a beneficial effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy. Whether the resveratrol-induced improvement in cardiac function in diabetes is via regulating autophagy remains unclear. We investigated the mechanisms underlying resveratrol-mediated protection against heart failure in diabetic mice, with a focus on the role of sirtuin 1 (SI...
