Proinflammatory Cytokines Are Soluble Mediators Linked with Ventricular Arrhythmias and Contractile Dysfunction in a Rat Model of Metabolic Syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome (MS) increases cardiovascular risk and is associated with cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias, although the precise mechanisms are still under study. Chronic inflammation in MS has emerged as a possible cause of adverse cardiac events. Male Wistar rats fed with 30% sucrose in drinking water and standard chow for 25-27 weeks were compared to a control group. The MS group showed increased weight, visceral fat, blood pressure, and serum triglycerides. The most important increases in serum cytokines included IL-1 Topics: Adrenergic beta-Agonists; Animals; Arrhythmias, Cardiac; Cells, Cultured; Cytokines; Disease Models, Animal; Echocardiography; Heart; Interleukin-1beta; Isoproterenol; Leptin; Male; Metabolic Syndrome; Myocardial Contraction; Myocardium; Myocytes, Cardiac; Rats; Rats, Wistar; Serum; Tomography, X-Ray Computed; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha; Ventricular Fibrillation; Whole Body Imaging | 2017 |
