Acute sleep deprivation preconditions the heart against ischemia/ reperfusion injury: the role of central GABA-A receptors
Objective(s): Central γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission modulates cardiovascular functions and sleep. Acute sleep deprivation (ASD) affects functions of various body organs via different mechanisms. Here, we evaluated the effect of ASD on cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), and studied the role of GABA-A receptor inhibition in central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) by assessing nit...
متن کاملERK phosphorylation mediates sildenafil-induced myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.
Sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5, induces powerful protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury through activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). We further hypothesized that PKG-dependent activation of survival kinase ERK may play a causative role in sildenafil-induced cardioprotection via induction of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/...
متن کاملThe preventive effects of dexmedetomidine against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in Wistar rats
Objective(s): Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion is a major problem, which may lead to multiorgan failure and death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of dexmedetomidine on cell proliferation, antioxidant system, cell death, and structural integrity in intestinal injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Materials and Methods: Animals were randomized into three gro...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase-5 inhibition and cardioprotection: potential role of hydrogen sulfide
Background Our laboratory has shown that phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors including sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil induce powerful protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. We have shown that sildenafil protects through activation PKC, expression of eNOS/ iNOS, protein kinase G (PKG) and opening of mitochondrial KATP (mitoKATP) channels [1]. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) i...
متن کاملHydroalcoholic Extract of Anchusa Italica Protects Global Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Via a Nitrergic Mechanism
Introduction: In stroke models, Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) expression initiates cellular toxicity due to excessive Nitric Oxide (NO) generation. Anchusa italica is a medicinal herb with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. This study evaluated the antioxidant activity and NOS mRNA expression of the Hydroalcoholic Extract Of Anchusa Italica (HEAI) in an expe...
