Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulation of P2Y receptors activates c-fos gene expression and inhibits DNA synthesis in cultured cardiac fibroblasts

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the effects of ATP on [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA and on expression of c-fos mRNA are exerted via distinct P2Y receptor subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paracrine effects of hypoxic fibroblast-derived factors on the MPT-ROS threshold and viability of adult rat cardiac myocytes.

TL;DR: Because both hypoxia and oxidant stress prevail in a setting of ischemia and reperfusion, the effects of soluble factors from hypoxic fibroblasts on the MPT-ROS threshold and viability of myocytes may represent a novel paracrine mechanism that could exacerbate ischemIA-reperfusion injury to cardiomyocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diminished cardiac hypertrophy and muscle performance in older compared with younger adult rats with chronic atrioventricular block

TL;DR: During long-term block, age exerted not only a significant effect on the extent of cardiac hypertrophy but also an independentEffect on the developed tension of cardiac muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals novel mitochondrial targets of estrogen deficiency in the aged female rat heart.

TL;DR: Age-dependent alterations in mitochondrial signaling indicate a highly selective myocardial response to E(2) deficiency, and the combined proteomic and functional approaches described here offer possibility of new protein targets for experimentation and therapeutic intervention in the aged female population.
