Left ventricular function of isoproterenol-induced hypertrophied rat hearts perfused with blood: mechanical work and energetics.

2 Sep 2009 We investigated left ventricular (LV) mechanical work and energetics in the cross-circulated (blood-perfused) isoproterenol [Iso 1.2 mg x kg(-1).day(-1) for 3 days (Iso3) or 7 days (Iso7)]-induced hypertrophied rat heart preparation under isovolumic ... Read more...

Successful endovascular repair of acute type B aortic dissection in undiagnosed Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV.

17 Aug 2009 A 61-year-old man presented with an acute type B aortic dissection for which a stent-graft was introduced. He remains complication-free 4 years onwards and has since been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV (EDS IV). His particular ... Read more...

Suppression of collagen production in norepinephrine stimulated cardiac fibroblasts culture: differential effect of alpha and beta-adrenoreceptor antagonism.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: Prolonged sympathetic activation is damaging to the heart and experimental norepinephrine (NE) infusion induces the deposition of myocardial collagen. This study investigated the effects of NE on collagen and transforming growth ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Collagen Type III'

Definition: A fibrillar collagen consisting of three identical alpha1(III) chains that is widely distributed in many tissues containing COLLAGEN TYPE I. It is particularly abundant in BLOOD VESSELS and may play a role in tissues with elastic characteristics.
