Reperfusion injury in the surgical setting is defined as those metabolic, functional and
structural consequences of restoring coronary flow (that is, aortic unclamping and …

The discovery of oxygen is considered by some to be the most important scientific discovery
of all time—from both physical–chemical/astrophysics and biology/evolution viewpoints. One …

This study tests the hypothesis that aspartate enrichment of glutamate-blood cardioplegia
improves metabolic and functional recovery after ischemic and reperfusion damage …

The goal of this study was to measure arterial amino acid levels in patients with chronic
heart failure (CHF), and relate them to left ventricular function and disease severity. Amino …

The metabolic sources of energy for myocardial contractility include mainly free fatty acids
(FFA) for 95%, and in lesser amounts for 5% from glucose and minimal contributions from …

Conflicting results about alterations of plasma amino acid (AA) levels are reported in
subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current study aimed to provide more …

The morphological, functional, and biochemical properties of freshly isolated heart muscle
cells were examined. A reproducible method for the separation and purification of such cells …

Cold blood cardioplegic techniques are limited in their ability to protect energy-depleted
hearts during aortic clamping. This study extends our previous observations on the benefits …

Background Animal and human data suggest that glutamate can enhance recovery of
myocardial metabolism and function after ischemia. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide …
