Testosterone stimulates cholesterol metabolism and efflux from human macrophages via liver X receptor

Kilby Elizabeth , Jones Hugh

Low testosterone is associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Testosterone replacement improves several CV risk factors including lowering cholesterol and may protect against atherogenesis. Macrophage liver X receptor α (LXRα) stimulates cholesterol efflux which is a therapeutic target for the treatment of atherosclerosis. It was therefore proposed that the anti-atherogenic effect of testosterone may be mediated via LXRα. THP-1 macr...

Testosterone differentially regulates liver X receptor expression and targets of lipid and glucose metabolism in liver, muscle and adipose tissue of the testicular feminised mouse

Kelly Daniel , Akhtar Samia , Muraleedharan Vakkat , Brooke Johnathan , McLaren David , Channer Kevin , Jones T Hugh

Testosterone deficiency increases risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. Testosterone replacement (TRT) improves insulin resistance, glycaemic control and cholesterol in hypogonadal men. Liver X receptor (LXR) is a nuclear receptor which regulates lipid and glucose metabolism. LXR agonists protect against atherosclerosis but cause hepatic steatosis. We have previously shown that TRT protects against hepatic steatosis and atherosclerosis in high-fat diet-fed...

Oxytocin, a new regulator of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy

Gutkowska Jolanta , Menaouar Ahmed , Jankowski Marek

We have uncovered the cardioprotective functional oxytocin (OT) system in the rat and human heart. In rat model of heart infarct, OT treatment significantly reduced infarct size, decreased cardiomyocytes (CM) diameter, increased expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and improved parameters of heart function. Consequently, in this report we investigated hypothesis that OT-related mechanism of ANP synthesis or release, plays a role in the control of CM hypertrophy.<...

Ortega-Azorin Carolina , Godoy Diego , Carrasco Paula , Asensio Eva M , Zanon-Moreno Vicente , Corella Dolores , Sorli Jose V

Introduction and objective: CD36 is a scavenger receptor that facilitates the membrane transport of long chain fatty acids into muscle and adipose tissue. Polymorphisms in this gene have been related to abnormal serum fatty acids and obesity-related phenotypes with inconsistent results. Gene-diet interactions could modulate these associations. Our aim was to study whether a common functional variant (rs1761667) in this gene will associate with anthropometric variables and plas...

The effect of aerobic exercise on ectopic lipids intramyocellular, intrahepatocellular, and intracardiomyocellular lipids in physically active, healthy individuals

Kruesi Marion , Bucher Julie , Kreis Roland , Ith Michael , Zueger Thomas , Stettler Christoph , Boesch Chris , Christ Emanuel

Introduction: Ectopic lipids are fuel stores in non-adipose tissues (i.e. skeletal muscle (IMCL), liver (IHCL), and heart (ICCL)). It is recognized that IMCL can be depleted by physical activity and repleted by dietary fat intake indicating metabolic flexibility. In contrast, preliminary data suggested that aerobic exercise increases IHCL. Data on the acute effect of aerobic exercise on ICCL is scarce.Increased IMCL and IHCL have consistently been relate...

Pentraxin-3 as a more sensitive marker of coronary artery disease severity than C-reactive protein

Szkodzinski Janusz , Hudzik Bartosz , Danikiewicz Aleksander , Pietka-Rzycka Anna , Lekston Andrzej , Zubelewicz-Szkodzinska Barbara

Introduction: Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is an acute-phase reactant that shares structural and functional homology with C-reactive protein (CRP). However, unlike CRP, which is synthesized mainly in the liver, PTX3 is produced at the site of inflammation. It has been suggested that PTX3 plays the same role in the periphery that CRP does in circulation. PTX3 may represent a rapid marker for local inflammation.Methods: Fifty three patients with stable coronary arte...
