1. Cardiac function and intracellular Ca2+ handling proteins are not impaired by high-saturated-fat diet-induced obesity
Obesity is often associated with changes in cardiac function; however, the mechanisms responsible for functional abnormalities have not yet been fully clarified. Considering the lack of information regarding high-saturated-fat diet-induced obesity, heart function, and the proteins involved in myocardial calcium (Ca2+) handling, the aim of this study was to t

2. Lack of evidence for regulation of cardiac P-type ATPases and MAP kinases in transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of constitutively active α1B-adrenoceptors
The regulatory function of α1B-adrenoceptors in mammalian heart homeostasis is controversial. The objective of the present study was to characterize the expression/activity of key proteins implicated in cardiac calcium handling (Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPases) and growth (ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and p38) in mice with cardiac-selective overexpression of constitutivel

3. Efeito do treinamento físico e da restrição alimentar na função cardíaca e resistência à insulina em ratos obesos / Effect of exercise training and food restriction in the cardiac function and insulin resistance in obese rats
BACKGROUND. Obesity is associated with cardiac function and hepatic fat metabolism abnormalities. On the other hand, exercise training and food restriction are known to restore obesity metabolic disorders and improve prognosis in obese individuals. However, whether these interventions improve cardiac function and its molecular mechanism associated with Ca2+

4. Mechanisms of protection against myonecrosis in extraocular muscles of the mdx mice / Mecanismos de proteção a mionecrose nos musculos extra-oculares de camundongos distroficos mdx
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is one of the most common hereditary diseases. Abnormal calcium ion handling renders dystrophic muscle fibers more susceptible to necrosis. In the mdx mice, extraocular muscles (EOM) are protected and do not undergo myonecrosis. We investigated whether this protection is related to an increased expression of calcium-binding protei

5. Development and characterization of sodium alginate active films using calcium benzoate as cross-linking agent / Desenvolvimento e caracterização de filmes ativos de alginato de sodio reticulados com benzoato de calcio
Biodegradable films are produced from natural polymers, structurized mainly by polysaccharides or proteins, and have potential applications in the medical, pharmaceutical or food area. The incorporation of active agents can extend their application as antimicotic packaging, for instance. Films were manufactured with sodium alginate, using calcium chloride as

6. Efeito do treinamento físico na cardiomiopatia induzida por hiperatividade simpática em camundongos com ablação dos receptores alpha 2A/alpha 2C- adrenérgicos / Effect of exercise training on cardiomyopathy induced by sympathetic hiperactivity in mice lacking a2A/a2C- adrenoceptors
Presynaptic a2-adrenoceptors (a2 AR) regulate the cardiovascular function by inhibiting neurotransmitter release on the sympathetic nerve terminals. We have recently reported that disruption for both a2A and a2C AR subtypes in mice (KO) leads to sympathetic hyperactivity with evidence of cardiac dysfunction by 4 mo of age. These mice provide a model system f

7. Evaluation of procedures for agricultural samples preparation for multielemental determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. / Avaliação de procedimentos para preparo de amostras agronômicas visando determinação multielementar por espectrometria de emissão ótica com plasma induzido.
Sample preparation was always considered a limiting factor for sample throughput in the analytical sequence due to its high time consumption and great probability for error insertion in the results. Therefore, purposes to generate lower analysis time and, mainly, to make sample handling a feasible process are readily wished. Two procedures for preparation of

8. Thyroid hormone improves function and Ca2+ handling in pressure overload hypertrophy. Association with increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase and alpha-myosin heavy chain in rat hearts.
We asked whether thyroid hormone (T4) would improve heart function in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) induced by pressure overload (aortic banding). After banding for 10-22 wk, rats were treated with T4 or saline for 10-14 d. Isovolumic LV pressure and cytosolic [Ca2+] (indo-1) were assessed in perfused hearts. Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA),

9. Facilitated maturation of Ca2+ handling properties of human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes by calsequestrin expression
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) are nonregenerative. Self-renewable pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can differentiate into CMs for cell-based therapies. We recently reported that Ca2+ handling, crucial to excitation-contraction coupling of hESC-derived CMs (hESC-CMs), is functional but immature. Such immature properties as smaller cytosolic Ca2+ transien

10. Altered intracellular Ca2+ handling in heart failure
Structural and functional alterations in the Ca2+ regulatory proteins present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum have recently been shown to be strongly involved in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system or of the renin-angiotensin system induces abnormalities in both the function and structure of these proteins. W

11. Junctin and the histidine-rich Ca2+ binding protein: potential roles in heart failure and arrhythmogenesis
Contractile dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmias associated with heart failure have been attributed to aberrant sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ cycling. The study of junctin (JCN) and histidine-rich Ca2+ binding protein (HRC) becomes of particular importance since these proteins have been shown to be critical regulators of Ca2+ cycling. Specifically, JCN

12. Pulmonary artery banding alters the expression of Ca2+ transport proteins in the right atrium in rabbits
Following pulmonary artery banding (PAB), the contractile function of right ventricle diminishes over time. Subsequently, the right atrium (RA) has to contract against a higher afterload, but it is unknown to what extent ventricular dysfunction has an effect on the atrial contractility. We hypothesized that right ventricular pressure overload may have an aff
