Administration of FR 34235 reduced aortic blood pressure and increased cardiac output in anesthetized dogs with an ameroid-induced coronary artery occlusion. Following FR 34235, there was an increase in perfusion within normal myocardium and ischemic subepicardium. Ischemic zone flow to subepicardium and subendocardium were both significantly increased when aortic pressure was held at control levels. The data demonstrate marked enhancement in oxygen supply to an area distal to a chronic coronary occlusion by a new calcium antagonist, FR 34235.

The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels, characterized as nonselective cation channels with permeability to calcium ions (Ca), are part of the extensive family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Research has demonstrated that TRPA1 channels function as sensors for oxidative stress in the renal tubules. Additionally, TRPA1 expression has increased in renal tissue following ischemia-reperfusion (IR).

The concept of pharmacokinetic (PK) boosting of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) emerged after the FDA approval of cyclosporine-A. Several studies followed, and the proof of concept was well established by the late 1990s. This also continued for the next blockbuster immunosuppressant, tacrolimus.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, pose significant health risks when present in plant-based supplements (PBS), necessitating thorough risk assessment to ensure consumer safety. This study evaluates the health risks associated with mycotoxins, specifically aflatoxins (AFB, AFB) and ochratoxin A (OTA), in PBS sold in Malaysia. Contamination levels of AFB, AFB, and OTA were quantified in 14 PBS samples using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of death in Turner syndrome (TS) for which, arterial hypertension has a direct influence and is a key modifiable risk factor.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and patterns of hypertension diagnosis and management in adult patients with TS who are registered in a large international multicentre database (TS-HTN study).
Methods: Retrospective multi-centre observational study of patients aged ≥18 years, included in the I-TS (International-TS) registry (2020-2022) utilising registry and participating centre collected data.

Cone snails of the genus have evolved to produce structurally distinct and functionally diverse venom peptides for defensive and predatory purposes. This nature-devised delicacy enlightened drug discovery and for decades, the bioactive cone snail venom peptides, known as conotoxins, have been widely explored for their therapeutic potential, yet we know very little about them. With the augmentation of computational algorithms from the realms of bioinformatics and machine learning, in silico strategies have made substantial contributions to facilitate conotoxin studies although still with certain limitations.
