Ischemia–reperfusion injury is a common complication of heart disease that is the leading
cause of death worldwide. Here, we plan to elucidate oxytocin cardioprotection effects …

Oxytocin (OT) has a postconditioning effect against the ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
However, its precise cardioprotection mechanism at the early reperfusion phase remains …

Among the cardiovascular pathologies, ischemic heart disease is a serious medical problem
that can result in cardiac injury and (or) heart failure. The aim of the present study was to test …

Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of
rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. One of the major goals …

Background Oxytocin (OT) has shown a cardioprotective effect on myocardial
ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI). This study aimed to investigate whether the …

Background The purpose of this study was to determine whether endogenous atrial
natriuretic peptide (ANP) contributes to the protective effect of neurohypophysial hormone …

Oxytocin (OT) is well known for its role in reproduction. However, evidence has emerged
suggesting a role in cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

While an increasing amount of evidence demonstrates the homeostatic functions of the
cardiac oxytocin (OT) system, less is known about the role of this hormone in the injured …

The beneficial effects of oxytocin on infarct size and functional recovery of the ischemic
reperfused heart are well documented. The mechanisms for this cardioprotection are not …

In our previous study, the administration of oxytocin (OT) could precondition the heart
against ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this study, to investigate the cardiac postconditioning …
