Abstract

The use of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LHb), which is a cellular Hb, has been demonstrated to be beneficial in the treatment of hypohemoglobinemic shock. As a molecule of appropriate size (220 nm) that can carry oxygen, LHb may ameliorate cardiac dysfunction during lethal hemodilation. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of LHb transfusion in relieving cardiovascular dysfunction in a rat model of lethal progressive hemodilution. Over the course of 150 min, rats were subjected to blood withdrawal (0.2 mL/min) and simultaneously transfused with LHb, washed rat red blood cells, or 5% albumin. Temporal changes in cardiac function, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein levels, plasma levels of catecholamines, heart rate variability, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression were measured during lethal progressive hemodilution. More than 80% of the rats transfused with either LHb or washed rat red blood cells survived for 8 days. Liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin transfusion suppressed hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression in the heart, maintained low levels of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, and attenuated sympathetic nerve activity as reflected by changes in heart rate variability and plasma levels...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
