BACKGROUND
Apelin, the endogenous ligand for the G protein-coupled apelin receptor, is an important regulator of the cardiovascular homoeostasis. We previously demonstrated that apelin is one of the… (More)
Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been linked to the pathogenesis of contractile dysfunction in heart failure. However, it is unclear whether ROS can regulate physiological… (More)
The G protein-coupled apelin receptor regulates important processes of the cardiovascular homeostasis, including cardiac development, cardiac contractility, and vascular tone. Most recently, a novel… (More)
Increased production of reactive oxygen species has been implicated in the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure. However, emerging evidence suggests a role for reactive oxygen species in… (More)
High levels of specific prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) binding sites have been found in the myocardium; however, the functional importance of PrRP in the regulation of cardiac function is… (More)
Neuronostatin, a recently discovered peptide encoded by somatostatin gene, is involved in regulation of neuronal function, blood pressure, food intake, and drinking behavior. However, the biological… (More)
cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) regulates the L-type calcium channel, the ryanodine receptor, and phospholamban (PLB) thereby increasing inotropy. Cardiac contractility is also regulated by p38… (More)
