1. Changes in gap junction proteins Connexin30.2 and Connexin40 expression in the sinoatrial node of rats with dexmedetomidine-induced sinus bradycardia
Abstract Background Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is widely used, and its most common side effect is bradycardia. The complete mechanism through which Dex induces bradycardia has not been elucidated. This research investigates the expression of gap junction proteins Connexin30.2 (Cx30.2) and Connexin40 (Cx40) within the sinoatrial node of rats with Dex-induced sinu

2. Obesity care: more urgent than ever
ABSTRACT Deleterious effects of free fatty acids, FFAs, on insulin sensitivity are observed in vivo studies in humans. Mechanisms include impaired insulin signaling, oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, but the effects on insulin secretion are less well known. Our aim was to review the relationship of increased FFAs with insulin res

3. Effect of free fatty acids on insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and incretin effect – a narrative review
ABSTRACT Deleterious effects of free fatty acids, FFAs, on insulin sensitivity are observed in vivo studies in humans. Mechanisms include impaired insulin signaling, oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, but the effects on insulin secretion are less well known. Our aim was to review the relationship of increased FFAs with insulin res

4. The liver injury following ischemia and reperfusion is worse in experimental knockout heterozygote mouse model for expression of connexin 43
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate that Connexin (Cx43) plays a role in lesions after hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Methods: We use Cx43 deficient model (heterozygotes mice) and compared to a wild group. The groups underwent 1 hour ischemia and 24 hours reperfusion. The heterozygote genotype was confirmed by PCR. We analyzed the hepatic enzymes (AST

5. DACT1 Involvement in the Cytoskeletal Arrangement of Cardiomyocytes in Atrial Fibrillation by Regulating Cx43
Abstract Objective: To determine the role of the dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 1 (DACT1) in the cytoskeletal arrangement of cardiomyocytes in atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: The DACT1 expression and its associations with the degree of fibrosis and β-catenin in valvular disease patients were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Masson�

6. Screening of Connexin 26 in Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
Introduction The first locus for nonsyndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss is on chromosome 13q11-22. The 35delGmutation is present in 80% of cases in which GJB2 is involved, which makes the study of this mutation very important. The viability and benefits of screening for mutations in the connexin 26 gene are now beginning to chan

7. Severity of chronic experimental Chagas' heart disease parallels tumour necrosis factor and nitric oxide levels in the serum: models of mild and severe disease
Heart tissue inflammation, progressive fibrosis and electrocardiographic alterations occur in approximately 30% of patients infected by Trypanosoma cruzi, 10-30 years after infection. Further, plasma levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and nitric oxide (NO) are associated with the degree of heart dysfunction in chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCC). Thus,

8. Retinoic acid and cAMP inhibit rat hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and enhance cell differentiation
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third highest cause of cancer death worldwide. In general, the disease is diagnosed at an advanced stage when potentially curative therapies are no longer feasible. For this reason, it is very important to develop new therapeutic approaches. Retinoic acid (RA) is a natural derivative of vitamin A that regulates important

9. A conexina 26 e sua relação com outras proteínas no órgão de Corti / The connexin 26 and its relationship with other proteins from the organ of Corti
A causa mais frequente de surdez de herança autossômica recessiva são as mutações no lócus DFNB1, onde estão os genes GJB2 e GJB6. Dentre os indivíduos com deficiência auditiva associada a esse lócus, 10% a 50% apresentam uma única mutação recessiva no gene GJB2, frequência muito superior à esperada em função da frequência de heterozigotos

10. Efeitos da rosuvastatina e da atividade física de baixa intensidade na morfologia renal de ratos normotensos e espontaneamente hipertensos (SHR) / Effects of the rosuvastatin and low intensity physical activity on the morphology of kidney from normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)
Desordens do sistema renal podem ser as causas da hipertensão arterial, a qual pode, por sua vez, causar doenças renais. A pressão sanguínea elevada é muito comum também nas doenças crônicas dos rins, e é, além disso, um conhecido fator de risco para uma mais rápida progressão da falha renal. A incidência de doenças renais crônicas está aumen

11. Avaliação da expressão e localização da conexina 43 na injúria isquêmica renal aguda / Evaluation of Connexin 43 expression and localization in renal acute ischemic injury
The cells require contact with other cells and the extracellular matrix for tissue formation. Gap junctions are narrow channels connecting the cytoplasm of two adjacent cells, promoting the passage of inorganic ions, amino acids, nucleotides and other metabolites. These junctions are composed of two conexons or hemichannels, crossing the cell plasma membrane

12. Efeitos benéficos da rosuvastatina na estrutura renal de ratos espontaneamente hipertensos (SHR) / Rosuvastatin beneficially alters the glomerular structure of kidneys from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs)
A incidência de doenças renais crônicas está aumentando no mundo, e há uma grande necessidade de identificar as terapias capazes de deter ou reduzir a progressão da doença. Há crescente evidência clínica e experimental de que as estatinas poderiam desempenhar um papel terapêutico. Recentes estudos clínicos e experimentais têm mostrado que as est
