Mechanisms by Which Arachidonic acid Metabolite, Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid Elicit Cardioprotection Against Ischemic Reperfusion Injury
DownloadFall 2011
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid that have cardioprotective properties but the exact mechanism(s) remains unknown. Evidence suggests phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and plasma membraneATP-sensitive potassium channels (pmKATP) are...

Ischemic heart disease remains a major cause of illness, disability and death worldwide, as such there remains a need for novel pharmacological agents that protect against myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase...

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET) are cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid. Evidence shows that they mediate protective effects in the cardiovascular system promoting cell survival. In this thesis, the major focus was to investigate if and how EETs regulate autophagy in...

Ischemic heart Disease (IHD) remains a major cause of illness and death worldwide. Therefore, therapeutic agents to protect against myocardial ischemia are needed. Arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase into the biologically active epoxyeicosatrienoic acids...

THE ROLE OF CYTOCHROME P450 AND THEIR ASSOCIATED ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLITES IN THE INITIATION AND PROGRESSION OF CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
DownloadSpring 2016
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of mortality and disability in adults worldwide. Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor and one of the major hallmarks of HF. Research in cardiac hypertrophy is considered as a research into the early events in the development of HF. The...

The Cardioprotective Role of the N-3 PUFA Metabolite 19,20-Epoxydocosapentaenoic Acid (19,20-EDP) in the Setting of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
DownloadSpring 2022
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocardial ischemia occurs when a coronary artery is occluded and consequently blood supply to the heart is restricted depleting it of oxygen and nutrients. Although early myocardial reperfusion,...
