The development of myocardial insulin resistance in conscious dogs with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy (2004)

Nikolaidis, Lazaros A, Sturzu, Anthony, Stolarski, Carol, Elahi, Dariush, Shen, You-Tang, Shannon, Richard P

Background: The failing heart demonstrates a preference for glucose as its metabolic substrate. Advanced, severe DCM is characterized by depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stores, which may be...

Catecholamine stimulation is associated with impaired myocardial O2 utilization in heart failure (2002)

Nikolaidis, Lazaros A, Hentosz, Teresa, Doverspike, Aaron, Huerbin, Rhonda, Stolarski, Carol, Shen, You-Tang, ...

Objectives: To investigate the effect of α, β1 and β2 adrenergic receptor (AR) stimulation on coronary hemodynamics, myocardial oxygen consumption (MvO2) and metabolic substrate preference in...

Chronic therapy with an ETA/B receptor antagonist in conscious dogs during progression of congestive heart failure: Intracellular Ca2+ regulation and nitric oxide mediated coronary relaxation (2000)

Shen, You-Tang, Buie, Pamela S, Lynch, Joseph J, Krause, Stephen M, Ma, Xin-Liang

Background: Although it is known that endothelin (ET-1) is elevated in heart failure (HF), it remains unclear if chronic ETA/B receptor antagonism affects the progression of HF, particularly by...

Combined effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition and angiotensin II receptor antagonism in conscious pigs with congestive heart failure (1998)

Shen, You-Tang, Wiedmann, R.T., Greenland, B.D., Lynch, J.J., Grossman, W.

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine if the hemodynamic effects of the combined administration of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin II type 1 (AT1)...

Effects of anaesthesia and recent surgery on diastolic function (1994)

Ihara, Tadashi, Shannon, Richard P, Komamura, Kazuo, Pasipoularides, Ares, Patrick, Thomas, Shen, You-Tang, ...

Objective: The aims were to determine the effects and the extent to which halothane anaesthesia affects diastolic function both immediately after and remote from surgery and to investigate whether...

Cardiac dysfunction in aging conscious rats: altered cardiac cytoskeletal proteins as a potential mechanism

Lieber, Samuel C., Qiu, Hongyu, Chen, Li, Shen, You-Tang, Hong, Chull, Hunter, William C., ...

The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that the mechanism mediating left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the aging rat heart involves, in part, changes in cardiac cytoskeletal...
