Correction to the article “Peculiar Aspects in Influence of α1-Adrenoceptor Stimulation on Isolated Rat Heart,” by T. L. Zefirov, I. Khabibrakhmanov, N. Ziyatdinova, and A. Vol. 162, No. 1, pp. 4-6, November 2016

The present study was designed to investigate the role of estrogen receptor and KATP channel in cardioprotective effect remote aortic preconditioning rat heart. Remote is a phenomenon which brief episodes ischemia reperfusion organs protect target organ against sustained ischemia/ induced injury. Protective effects are well established heart, but their mechanisms still remain be elucidated. rat...

introduction: cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, is associated with progressive ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular death. the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of endurance exercise training on morphological changes in rat heart tissue following experimental myocardial infarction. materials and methods: rats used in this experiment (8-10 weeks old, 235 ± 5 g b...

chronic ethanol consumption leads to oxidative stress in the heart and erythrocytes of rats. as ziziphus jujuba fruit has been shown to have potent antioxidants, such as flavonoids, we conducted this study to evaluate the effects of aqueous fruit extracts from z. jujuba on rat hearts and erythrocytes following chronic ethanol consumption. twenty-eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into...

Objective: Phthalates, despite their endocrine disrupting effects, are widely used as plastifiants. Environmental exposure of phthalates was demonstrated to cause fetal death and reproductive toxicity in human beings, well laboratory animals. However, underlying mechanisms not clear.
 Material Methods: Here, we examine the impact di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) dibutyl (DBP)on rat lungs,...

Abstract Unmonitored cardiac images of a rat were acquired using standard gradient echo sequences to study the artefact ghosting mainly caused by heart and respiration motion. All imaging experiments performed transceiver circular-shaped coil preclinical magnetic resonance imager at 7 T. Heart showed along frequency encoding direction. However image quality was not drastically affected this typ...

background: calcium overload and free radical mediated damage in the mitochondria is the most important pathological changes associated with myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury. the verapamil post-treatment has been previously reported to prevent reperfusion-induced myocardial injury but functional recovery may be delayed due to the drug's inherent direct myocardial depression effect. in the...

results theophylline-treated rats showed mda level elevation and gpx activity reduction. quercetin treatment improved heart conditions and resulted in a significant reduction in mda levels and elevation in gpx activity. moreover, co-administration of quercetin and theophylline increased the heart weight significantly. furthermore, histophatological study showed no changes in the treated groups....
