Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability in Antihypertensive Drug Therapy and Compliance: Results from a Random Survey in the United Arab EmiratesSyed Azhar Syed Sulaiman, Muaed Jamal Alomar, Claire Caroline StrauchProblem statement: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases known as the ‘silent killer’ because it shows no clinical signs and symptoms. The high prevalence of hypertension in the United Arab Emirates stresses the importance to initiate a nation-wide effort to prevent and control high blood pressure in the population, especially since the prevalence rates are indicative of one … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Interaction between Salinomycin and Exogenous Adrenaline in DogsHamid Rajaian, Javad Sajedianfard, Saeed Nazifi, Ali Moosavi KianProblem statement: Salinomycin is a member of ionophore compounds that may be used in ruminants and pigs as growth promoter or to prevent coccidiosis. There are some reports with respect to the in vitro and in vivo sympathomimetic cardiovascular effects of salinomycin. Available reports indicate that adrenergic impact of the ionophore is brought about by an increase in the secretion … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlmond Consumption Decreases Fasting and Post Prandial Blood Glucose Level in Female Type 2 Diabetes SubjectParul Choudhary, Saroj Kothari, Vimal SharmaProblem statement: Population studies indicate that individuals who regularly consume nuts have reduced risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The beneficial role of almonds has been established with respect to serum lipid profile however, its beneficial effects on glycemia is still to be established. Aim of the study was to investigate the response of almond feeding on fasting and post … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFour Dimensional (4-D) BioChemInfoPhysics Models of Cardiac Cellular and Sub-Cellular Vibrations (Oscillations)Kang Cheng, Chang-Hua ZouProblem statement: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) continued to be the leading cause of death. Failure or abnormal cardiac cellular or sub-cellular vibrations (oscillations) could lead failure or abnormal heart beats that could cause CVD. Understanding the mechanisms of the vibrations (oscillations) could help to prevent or to treat the diseases. Scientists have studied the mechanisms for more than 100 years. To … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2009 · 7,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Acute Administration of Artemisia Persia Extracts on Arterial Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in RatsFarzaneh Esmaeili, Gholamreza Sepehri, Ghollam-Reza Moshtaghi-Kashanian et al.Problem statement: Artemisia Persia (AP) used for its therapeutic effects in folk medicine whiles some species of Artemisia shown a hypotensive effect. To determine the cardiovascular effect of AP, we tested the pharmacological responses of aqueous and methanolic extracts of AP on blood pressure (BP) and Heart Rate (HR) of normotensive and ephedrine induced hypertensive rats using a tail-cuff computerized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRedox Sensing and Cardiac Myocyte Loss: Some Recent InsightsShyamal K. GoswamiGeneration of reactive oxygen-nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) has long been ascribed to pathophysiological conditions like ageing, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders. However, more recent evidences suggest that while generation of ROS/RNS at a higher threshold is deleterious, at a lower dose these can act as second messengers, influencing specific cellular events like cell growth and differentiation, embryonic development, protection against ischemic injuries … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
