Background: Studies of genes that play an important role in the development of obesity are needed, especially studies focusing on genes that regulate food intake and affect nutrient metabolism. For example, the beta-3 adrenergic receptor () responds to noradrenaline and mediates lipolysis in adipocytes.
Methods: This was a controlled intervention study involving 40 overweight and obese adult women in which food intake, anthropometric measurements, biochemical analyses, and methylation levels of the gene were evaluated before and after intervention.
Introduction: The left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)-ventricular arrhythmias relationship associated with arterial hypertension and aging remains controversial. We aimed to assess the age-dependency of ventricular arrhythmias in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and the corresponding ventricular structural and molecular remodeling.
Materials And Methods: Ventricular arrhythmias were quantified using 24-h radiotelemetry ECG monitoring in eight SHRs and four Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at 14 (young), 24 (adult), and 48 (aging) weeks of age.
Aims: The timecourse of left atrial Pitx2 down-regulation in the setting of atrial tachyarrhythmias remains unknown. Accordingly, we aimed to assess the age dependency of left atrial Pitx2 expression in an experimental model of spontaneous atrial tachyarrhythmias in rats.
Methods And Results: Atrial sampling was performed in three groups (n = 4 each) of young (14-week-old), adult (24-week-old), and ageing (48-week-old) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), in which we previously demonstrated the age dependency of spontaneous atrial tachyarrhythmias, and three groups (n = 4 each) of age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats.
