Download or read book Role of Cardiac Catecholamines in Embryos and Adults Under Stress written by Candice Baker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease is responsible for the loss of one life every 38 seconds and accounts for 26.6 percent of all infants that die of congenital birth defects. Adrenergic hormones are critically important regulators of cardiovascular physiology in embryos and adults. They are key mediators of stress responses and have profound stimulatory effects on cardiovascular function, and dysregulation of adrenergic function has been associated with many adverse cardiac conditions, including congenital malformations, arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Despite intensive study, the specific roles these hormones play in the developing heart is not well-understood. Further, there is little information available regarding how these important hormones mediate stress responses in adult females (before and after menopause) in comparison to males. My thesis thus has two major foci: (1) What role(s) do catecholamines play in the embryonic heart?, and (2) Do catecholamines differentially influence cardiac function in aging male and female hearts? Initially, we sought to uncover the roles of adrenergic hormones in the embryonic heart by utilizing an adrenergic-deficient (Dbh[superscript -/-]) mouse model. We found that adrenergic hormones influence heart development by stimulating expression of the gap junction protein, connexin 43, facilitating atrioventricular conduction, and helping to maintain cardiac rhythm. As development progresses, cardiac energy demands increase substantially, and oxidative phosphorylation becomes vital. Adrenergic hormones regulate metabolism in adults, thus we hypothesized they may stimulate energy metabolism during the embryonic/fetal transition period.

Download or read book Circulating MicroRNAs written by Takahiro Ochiya and published by Humana Press. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate various biological phenomena, such as development and homeostasis. The dysregulation of miRNA leads to disease progression, particularly of cancer. In Circulating MicroRNAs: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail recent advances in the isolation, purification and analysis of circulating miRNAs from a variety of sources for research. The book is divided into three main topics. The first section involves the study of secretory miRNAs in cell-cell communication, and the second, the study of circulating miRNAs in body fluids. The last describes the novel techniques used to study circulating miRNAs. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Circulating MicroRNAs: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists in dealing with the recent advances of RNAi technology from the bench to the bedside.
