Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, triggered by acute catecholamine discharge, is a syndrome characterized transient, apical ballooning linked to heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias. Rats receiving an isoproterenol (ISO) overdose (OV) suffer cardiac apex ischemia-reperfusion damage arrhythmia, then undergo remodeling dysfunction. Nevertheless, the subcellular mechanisms underlying dysfunction after subsides are not thoroughly understood. To address this question, Wistar rats received...

Casiopeinas are a group of copper-based antineoplastic molecules designed as less toxic and more therapeutic alternative to cisplatin or Doxorubicin; however, there is scarce evidence about their effects on the whole heart cardiomyocytes. Given this, rat hearts were perfused with Doxorubicin mechanical performance, energetics, mitochondrial function measured. As well, Casiopeinas-triggered cell death explored in isolated III-Ea, II-gly, III-ia induced progressive sustained inhibition...
