Investigating the cause of cardiovascular dysfunction in chronic kidney disease: capillary rarefaction and inflammation may contribute to detrimental cardiovascular outcomes.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The most frequently used and representative experimental model is the rat dietary adenine-induced CKD, which leads to CKD-associated CVD. However, the continued intake of adenine is a potential confounding factor.

Neuroprotection by remote ischemic conditioning in the setting of acute ischemic stroke: a preclinical two-centre study.

Reperfusion is the only existing strategy for patients with acute ischemic stroke, however it causes further brain damage itself. A feasible therapy targeting reperfusion injury is remote ischemic conditioning (RIC). This was a two-centre, randomized, blinded international study, using translational imaging endpoints, aimed to examine the neuroprotective effects of RIC in ischemic stroke model.

Neuroprotection in Rats Following Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury by GLP-1 Analogues-Liraglutide and Semaglutide.

Purpose: A substantial number of ischaemic stroke patients who receive reperfusion therapy in the acute phase do not ever fully recover. This reveals the urgent need to develop new adjunctive neuroprotective treatment strategies alongside reperfusion therapy. Previous experimental studies demonstrated the potential of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) to reduce acute ischaemic damage in the brain.

The 10th Biennial Hatter Cardiovascular Institute workshop: cellular protection-evaluating new directions in the setting of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, and cardio-oncology.

Due to its poor capacity for regeneration, the heart is particularly sensitive to the loss of contractile cardiomyocytes. The onslaught of damage caused by ischaemia and reperfusion, occurring during an acute myocardial infarction and the subsequent reperfusion therapy, can wipe out upwards of a billion cardiomyocytes. A similar program of cell death can cause the irreversible loss of neurons in ischaemic stroke.
