Thump Thump. Swoosh, swoosh. Kamlamunikk. Heart. Mi’kmaq teachings of heart are tied to concepts such as moontime, spirits, ancestors and blood knowledge. Being a Mi’kmaq woman from the west coast of Newfoundland with strong lifelong community connection I was aware that the understanding of...

Access to health care should be determined by clinical need and not by age. Older people form an increasing proportion of the general population and of those with coronary heart disease, but compared with younger people they are less likely to be invited for cardiac rehabilitation programmes and...

The traditional PI3K pathway relies on agonist mediated stimulation of PI3Kα through RTKs and PI3Kγ through GPCRs, which stimulate downstream enzymes such as Akt. This pathway has been found to be important in cardiomyocytes and cardiofibroblasts for regulating cardiac morphology and function....

Heart disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world with a growing prevalence in a variety of manifestations. Many of the events that occur in the heart during the progression of disease have been explored to identify a causative mechanism to develop effective treatments and...

Structural and functional analysis of transmembrane segment VI of the NHE1 isoform of the na+/H+ exchanger
Download2009-01-01
Tzeng, Jennifer, Lee, Brian L., Sykes, Brian D., Fliegel, Larry
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein. It resides on the plasma membrane of cells and regulates intracellular pH in mammals by extruding an intracellular H+ in exchange for one extracellular Na+. We characterized structural and functional aspects of...

The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein that regulates intracellular pH in mammals by extruding an intracellular H+ in exchange for one extracellular Na+. We characterized structural and functional aspects of the critical transmembrane (TM) segment XI...

Cardiac Fatty acids β-oxidation (FAO) markedly increases during maturation and become the major source of energy for the adult heart. However, excessive rates of FAO can compromise cardiac function in obesity, diabetes, and heart failure. Lysine acetylation has recently been identified as a...

The heart requires an uninterrupted supply of fuels to sustain its physiological function. Fatty acids are the predominant substrates and endogenous triglyceride turnover contributes significantly to fatty acid oxidation. Lipins are cytosolic, bifunctional enzymes involved in both glycerolipid...

Technological advances for treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) have led to decreases in mortality over the past thirty years. Persistent morbidity into adolescence and adulthood necessitates regular medical follow-up and the influence of ongoing physical health issues on the teens...

Mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent activation of the na+/H+ exchanger is mediated through phosphorylation of amino acids ser(770) and ser(771)

Malo, Mackenzie E., Li, Liang, Fliegel, Larry
We investigated regulation of the type 1 isoform of the Na+/H+ exchanger by phosphorylation. Four specific groups of serine and threonine residues in the regulatory carboxyl-terminal tail were mutated to alanine residues: group 1, S693A; group 2, T718A and S723A/S726A/S729A; group 3,...
