There is a convincing piece of evidence showing that most of free fatty acids (FFA) entering cardiomyocytes are first esterified into triacylglycerols (TG) before being oxidized or used for synthesis of complex lipids. The enzyme adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) initiates lipolysis of TG by
Tachycardia increases oxidation of the plasma-borne long chain fatty acids in the heart. The aim of the present study was to examine effect of tachycardia on: 1) the total level of free fatty acids, diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols and phospholipids in both heart ventricles; 2) (14)C-palmitate
Trilinolein, a triacylglycerol with linoleic acid, was found to inhibit Ca2+ influx in cardiomyocytes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of trilinolein on ventricular arrhythmia induced by intravenous strophanthidin in guinea pigs anesthetized with intraperitoneal urethane. After
OBJECTIVE
CD36 deficiency is characterized by limited cellular long chain fatty acid uptake in the skeletal and cardiac muscles and often causes energy crisis in these muscles. However, suitable treatment for CD36 deficiency remains to be established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
Trilinolein, a triacylglycerol with linoleic acid as the only fatty acid residue in all esterified positions of glycerol, was previously found to improve erythrocyte deformability in vitro. In this study, the in vivo antiarrhythmic and anti-ischemic effects of trilinolein in coronary ligated rats
Lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmia (LVTA) is the most prevalent electrophysiological underpinning of sudden cardiac death (SCD), a condition that occurs in response to multiple pathophysiological abnormalities. The aim of this study was to identify common lipid features of LVTA that were induced by
OBJECTIVE
In nondiabetic individuals, low values of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Identification of the potential mechanisms behind this association could help to elucidate the relationship between glycaemia and cardiovascular
Fish (finfish or shellfish) has been classified as healthy by health professionals despite containing contaminants, since fish is high in long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids which have multiple beneficial health effects such as decreased risk of stroke via anti-thrombotic and vasodilative
Selective thyroid hormone receptor subtype-beta (TRbeta) agonists have received attention as potential treatments for hypercholesterolemia and obesity, but have received less attention as treatments for diabetes, partly because this condition is not improved in thyroid hormone excess states. The
