Aims/hypothesis Diabetes is known to reduce survival after myocardial infarction. Our aim
was to examine whether diabetes is associated with enhanced cardiomyocyte apoptosis …

Ischemic heart disease is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Ischemia is a
condition in which blood flow of the myocardium declines, leading to cardiomyocyte death …

The aim of this paper is to study the myocardial damage secondary to long-term
streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). Normotensive and spontaneously …

Aims The mechanism by which diabetes mellitus exacerbates myocardial injury and the
incidence of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), remains unclear. We …

OBJECTIVES: Diabetes is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality after cardiac
surgery, but the reason is unclear. The aims of these studies, therefore, were to elucidate …

Despite clinical studies indicating that diabetic hearts are more sensitive to
ischemia/reperfusion injury, experimental data is contradictory. Although mild diabetes prior …

Background Although clinical diabetes mellitus is obviously a high risk factor for myocardial
infarction (MI), in experimental studies disagreement exists about the sensitivity to ischemic …

Increased myocyte apoptosis in diabetic hearts has been previously reported. Therefore, the
purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of insulin on cardiac apoptotic, hypertrophic …

Aims Exposure to a high glucose medium or diabetes has been found to protect the heart
against ischaemia. The activation of antiapoptotic and proliferative factors seems to be …

We investigated the role of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the remodeling of the left ventricle
from 24 h to 12 wk after myocardial infarction in the rat. Infarct size planimetry, quantification …
