Megjegyzések:	Objective: A rat model is here used to test a hypothesis that Momordica charantia (Bitter melon (BM)) extract favorably alters processes in cardiovascular tissue and is systemically relevant to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and related cardiovascular disease. Methods: Male Lean and Zucker Obese (ZO) rats were gavage-treated for six weeks with 400 mg/kg body weight bitter melon (BM) extract suspended in mucin?water vehicle, or with vehicle (Control). Animals were segregated into four treatment groups, 10 animals in each group, according to strain (Lean or ZO) and treatment (Control or BM). Following six-week treatment periods, peripheral blood was collected from selected animals, followed by sacrifice, thoracotomy and mounting of isolated working heart setup. Results: Body mass of both Lean and ZO rats was unaffected by treatment, likewise, peripheral blood fasting glucose levels showed no significant treatment-related effects. However, some BM treatment-related improvement was noted in postischemic cardiac functions when Lean, BM-treated animals were compared to vehicle treated Lean control rats. Treatment of Lean, but not ZO, rats significantly reduced the magnitude of infarcted zone in isolated hearts subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of working mode reperfusion. Immunohistochemical demonstration of caspase-3 expression by isolated heart tissues subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion, revealed significant correlation between BM treatment and reduced expression of this enzyme in hearts obtained from both Lean and ZO animals. The hierarchy and order of caspase-3 expression from highest to lowest was as follows: ZO rats receiving vehicle > ZO rats receiving BM extract > Lean rats treated receiving vehicle > Lean rats administered BM extract. Outcomes of analyses of peripheral blood content of cardiac-related analytics: with particular relevance to clinical application was a significant elevation in blood of ZO and ZO BM-treated, versus Lean rats of total cholesterol (high density lipoprotein HDL-c + low density lipoprotein LDL-c), with an inferred increase in HDL-c/LDL-c ratio?an outcome associated with decreased risk of atherosclerotic disease. Conclusions: BM extract failed to positively affect T2DM- and cardiovascular-related outcomes at a level suggesting use as a standalone treatment. Nevertheless, the encouraging effects of BM in enhancement of cardiac function, suppression of post-ischemic/reperfused infarct size extent and capacity to modulate serum cholesterol, will likely make it useful as an adjuvant therapy for the management of T2DM and related cardiovascular diseases.

Cím:	The Cardioprotective Effect of Metformin in Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity : the Role of Autophagy / Rita Zilinyi, Attila Czompa, Andras Czegledi, Andrea Gajtko, Dora Pituk, Istvan Lekli, Arpad Tosaki

Megjegyzések:	The molecular mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity are still being investigated, but are known to involve oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the dysregulation of autophagy. The objective of the current study was to examine the protective role of metformin and its effect on autophagy in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Sprague?Dawley rats were divided into four groups at random. The doxorubicin-treated group received doxorubicin (3 mg/kg every second day) intraperitoneally. The metformin-treated group received 250 mg/kg/day metformin via gavage. The doxorubicin + metformin-treated group received both at the above-mentioned doses. The control group received vehicle only. Following the two-week treatment, the hearts were isolated, and cardiac functions were registered. Serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase iso-enzyme MB (CK-MB) enzyme, Troponin T, and cardiac malondialdehyde (MDA) were also measured. Heart tissue samples were histopathologically examined by using Masson's trichrome staining and Western blot analysis was conducted for evaluating the expression level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy-associated proteins beclin-1, LC3B-II, and p62, respectively. The results revealed that treatment with metformin conferred increased cardiac protection against the development of cardiotoxicity manifested by a significant decrease in serum Troponin T and cardiac MDA levels, and remarkable improvement in heart function in connection with histopathological features. Furthermore, by focusing on the contribution of autophagic proteins, it was found that metformin normalised autophagy, which may help cardiomyocytes survive doxorubicin-induced toxicity. These results promote the use of metformin, which would be a preferable drug for patients receiving doxorubicin.
