Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship among superoxide anion, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), and endothelium-dependent relaxation in murine aortas organ-cultured in a high-glucose condition. Aortas organ-cultured with a high concentration of glucose (40 mmol/L, 20 h; HG group) exhibited the following characteristics (versus aortas cultured in serum-free medium): (i) significantly weaker relaxation to acetylcholine, but unchanged relaxation to SNP and unchanged contractions to norepinephrine and isotonic K+, (ii) significantly greater superoxide generation (indicated by the amount of nitroblue tetrazolium reduced, (iii) significantly higher protein expression levels of gp91phox, NAD(P)H oxidase subunits, and endothelial NO synthase, (iv) significantly lower protein expression level of Mn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), and (v) markedly greater reduction in the protein expression of PPARgamma than in that of PPARalpha. The HG-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation was prevented by cotreatment with tempol (a SOD mimetic). These results suggest that in the mouse aorta, exposure to high glucose levels may lead to an excessive generation of superoxide via increased gp91phox...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
