Résumé
To study the possible mechanism of the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on injury to neonatal rat cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation. Lactate dehydrogenase activity [(210.0±11.5) vs (101.4±6.5) U/L] ,apoptosis rate [(8. 138±1. 512) vs(0. 575±0. 168)%] ,and caspase-3 activity [(44.52± 5.69)vs(19.98±1.97) ,all P<0.01] were all increased after hypoxia-reoxygenation. GLP-1 appears to directly act on cardiomyocytes and to protect them from hypoxia-reoxygenation injury [lactate dehydrogenase (190.2±9.0) U/ L, apoptosis rate (2.688±0.580) %, caspase-3 activity 30.34±4.18] mainly by inhibiting the apoptosis probably via the PBK/Akt signaling pathways.
Résumé
Fourty eight cases of pheochromocytoma and adrenal medullary hyperplasia confirmed by pathology were analysed. According to clinical manifestations, EKG, UCG and radiograph-ical findings, they were divided into two groups: group 1,23 cases (48.9%) without cate-cholamine-induced cardiomyopathy and group 2,25 cases (52.1%) with catecholamine-in-duced cardiomyopathy. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, duration of disease, size and location of the pheochromocytomas. Significant differences were found in urine VMA content and types of hypertension between the two groups (P
