Cardiac remodeling in a rat model of diet-induced obesityAndré Soares Leopoldo
Department of Clinical and Cardiology, Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Can J Cardiol 26:423-9. 2010..Obesity also causes damage to myocardial ultrastructure, but its effect on myocardial function needs to be further clarified...
Severe food restriction induces myocardial dysfunction related to SERCA2 activityMario Mateus Sugizaki
Department of Clinical and Cardiology, School of Medicine, UNESP State University Júlio Mesquita Filho, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Can J Physiol Pharmacol 87:666-73. 2009..These results suggest that food restriction promotes myocardial dysfunction related to impairment of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ uptake as a result of a hypothyroid state...
Involvement of L-type calcium channel and SERCA2a in myocardial dysfunction induced by obesityAndré Soares Leopoldo
Department of Clinical and Cardiology, School of Medicine, UNESP State University Júlio Mesquita Filho, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil
J Cell Physiol 226:2934-42. 2011..In conclusion, the myocardial dysfunction caused by obesity is related to L-type Ca(2+) channel activity impairment without significant changes in SERCA2a expression and function as well as L-type Ca(2+) protein levels...
A comparative study of myocardial function and morphology during fasting/refeeding and food restriction in ratsMatheus Fécchio Pinotti
Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, State University Julio de Mesquita Filho, UNESP, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Cardiovasc Pathol 19:e175-82. 2010..This study compared the influence of fasting/refeeding cycles and food restriction on rat myocardial performance and morphology...
Vascular alterations in high-fat diet-obese rats: role of endothelial L-arginine/NO pathwayThiago Bruder Nascimento
Departamento de Farmacologia, Instituto de Biociencias, UNESP, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil
Arq Bras Cardiol 97:40-5. 2011..Mechanisms underlying vascular abnormalities in obesity remain to be completely clarified...
Food restriction promotes downregulation of myocardial L-type Ca2+ channelsLoreta Casquel De Tomasi
Department of Clinical Cardiology, School of Medicine, UNESP State University Júlio Mesquita Filho, Rubiao Junior, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Can J Physiol Pharmacol 87:426-31. 2009..These results suggest that the myocardial dysfunction observed in previous studies with FR animals could be caused by downregulation of L-type Ca2+ channels...
