Exposure to airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equivalent to 2.5 microns (PM) easily induces acute myocardial infarction in populations with high-risk cardiovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, but its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, hyperlipidemic rats were used to examine the effects of PM exposure on the cardiovascular system and the mechanism for its induction of cardiovascular events. We found that PM exposure resulted in bigger changes in the myocardial enzyme profile (cTnI, LDH, CK, CK-MB) in hyperlipidemic rats than that of control rats, as well as a significant increase in the C-reactive protein (CRP) level and a decrease in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. It promoted a hypercoagulable state, significantly increased blood pressure and heart rate, while decreased the variability of heart rate in hyperlipidemic rats. In addition, pathological test showed that PM exposure more easily deteriorated myocardial injury in hyperlipidemic rats. It upregulated the phosphorylation levels of myocardial c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and P53, resulting in the elevated expression of downstream effector protein Bax and the decreased expression of Bcl-2, and then increased caspase3 level leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis, while little change of caspase2 was observed. Taken together, PM exposure induced more serious inflammation and oxidative stress in the circulation system of hyperlipidemic rats, promoted a hypercoagulable state and triggered cardiomyocyte apoptosis, in which JNK/P53 pathway played a key role.

Therapeutic Efficacy of Salvia chudaei Ethanol Extract in Hyperlipidemia, Hyperglycemia, and Oxidative Stress in Triton X-100-Induced Wistar Rats.

The study explored the efficacy of Salvia chudaei ethanolic extract in managing hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and oxidative stress induced by Triton X-100 in Wistar rats. Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups: Control, Salvia chudaei-treated, Triton-induced hyperlipidemic, and a combination of Triton + Salvia chudaei treatment. Triton X-100 raised serum levels of total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and LDL while lowering HDL cholesterol, leading to oxidative stress marked by increased MDA and reduced antioxidant activity in liver and kidney tissues.

Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds are widely used in the preparation of various meals and in traditional health care to treat various disorders and diseases, especially Diabetes mellitus. This study was conducted to investigate the antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects of the fenugreek seed extract on fructose-induced diabetic wistar rats.

Among the diabetes-related complications, diabetic nephropathy is the major complication and it leads to end-stage renal failure. In the current investigation, we examined the protection of brucine, an alkaloid extracted from the seeds of Strychnos nux vomica plant widely used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicines against diabetic-induced nephropathy. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control, diabetic rats, diabetic-induced + 40 mg/kg brucine-treated rats, and diabetic-induced + 25 mg/kg metformin-treated rats.

Hyperlipidemia, a metabolic disease characterized by excessive blood lipid, disturbs bone metabolism by shifting cell fate of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) towards adipogenic differentiation, thus resulting in poor bone regeneration and osseointegration of implants. Among numerous factors affecting hyperlipidemic bone metabolism, non-coding RNAs play an essential role in post-transcriptional regulation. Our previous study has shown that miR-193a-3p levels were elevated in hyperlipidemia, which hindered implant osseointegration and BMSCs function.
