Vasodilator reactive oxygen species ameliorate perturbed myocardial oxygen delivery in exercising swine with multiple comorbidities.

Basic Res Cardiol

Multiple common cardiovascular comorbidities produce coronary microvascular dysfunction. We previously observed in swine that a combination of diabetes mellitus (DM), high fat diet (HFD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) induced systemic inflammation, increased oxidative stress and produced coronary endothelial dysfunction, altering control of coronary microvascular tone via loss of NO bioavailability, which was associated with an increase in circulating endothelin (ET). In the present study, we tested the hypotheses that (1) ROS scavenging and (2) ET-receptor blockade improve myocardial oxygen delivery in the same female swine model.

Endothelin-converting Enzyme-1b Genetic Variants Increase the Risk of Coronary Artery Ectasia.

Biochem Genet

April 2024

Department of Molecular Medicine, Aziz Sancar Institute of Experimental Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey.

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE), defined as a 1.5-fold or greater enlargement of a coronary artery segment compared to the adjacent normal coronary artery, is frequently associated with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Membrane-bound endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) is involved in the maturation process of the most potent vasoconstrictor ET-1.
