The effects of ischemic-postconditioning (IPOC) on functional recovery and cell viability of ischemic-reperfused hearts from fed and fasted rats were studied in relation to triacylglycerol and glycogen mobilization, ATP content, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG). Oxidative damage was
Despite advances in treatment, chronic heart failure is still associated with significant morbidity and a poor prognosis. The scope for further advances based on additional neurohumoral blockade is small. Effective adjunctive therapies acting via a different cellular mechanism would, therefore
Fatty acid oxidation inhibition with PPARalpha activation (FOXIB/PPARalpha) for normalizing gene expression in heart failure?
Impaired skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation has been suggested to contribute to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. However, increasing muscle fatty acid oxidation may cause a reciprocal decrease in glucose oxidation, which might impair insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. We

The nonproteinogenic amino acid 4-hydroxyphenylglycine (HPG) arises from the diversion of the tyrosine degradation pathway into secondary metabolism, and its biosynthesis requires a set of three enzymes. The gene cassette for HPG biosynthesis is widely spread in actinomycete bacteria, which
