A decrease in the rate of protein synthesis as well as an increase in the synthesis time of "medium-size" polypeptide chain were detected in total rabbit myocardium ischemia, which were evaluated using rabbit myocardium cell-free protein-synthesizing systems. The decrease in the synthesis rate of total myocardial proteins was shown to depend on the state of ribosomes function. Redistribution in the pools of membrane-bound and free ribosomes as well as a decrease of polyribosomes amount in total pool of myocardial ribosomes were observed under conditions of total myocardial ischemia.

Effects of cardiac contractility modulation on autophagy and apoptosis of cardiac myocytes in rabbits with chronic heart failure.

Background: Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is non-excitatory electrical stimulation for improving cardiac function. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CCM on autophagy and apoptosis of cardiac myocytes in a rabbit model of chronic heart failure (CHF) and explore its possible mechanism.
Methods: Thirty rabbits were randomised into the Sham, heart failure (HF) and CCM groups, and animals in all three groups were sacrificed after 16 weeks of ascending aortic constriction or sham surgery.

Despite new approaches in the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft, and left ventricular assist devices, which cannot fully compensate for the effectiveness of the original heart, heart transplantation still remains as the most effective solution. A growing body of literature recognizes the importance of developing a whole heart constructed from living tissues to provide an alternative option for patients suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system. A potential solution that shows a promise is to generate cell-free, i.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia associated with increased morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) on cardiac structural remodeling in a rabbit model of AF.
Methods: Rabbits were subjected to rapid pacing to induce an AF model, and BNP was delivered subcutaneously at a dose of 20 μg/kg/d twice per day for three weeks.
Empagliflozin Ameliorates Atrial and Ventricular Remodeling and Arrhythmogenesis in an Overweight Rabbit Model.

Heart Rhythm Center, Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
Background: Overweight is associated with dysrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, while sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-is) have been shown to possess cardioprotective effects in patients with hyperglycemia.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of overweight on cardiac remodeling and the potential effect of SGLT2-is.
Methods: Twenty-four rabbits were randomized into 4 groups: controls (Group 1), high-fat diet (HFD) (Group 2), controls treated with empagliflozin (Group 3), and HFD treated with empagliflozin (Group 4).

Background: Efficient excitation-contraction coupling of mammalian ventricular cardiomyocytes depends on the transverse-axial tubular system (TATS), a network of surface membrane invaginations. TATS enables tight coupling of sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes, which is essential for rapid Ca-induced Ca release, and uniform contraction upon electrical stimulation. The majority of TATS in healthy ventricular cardiomyocytes is composed of transverse tubules (TT, ∼90 % of TATS in rabbit).
