“…12 However, conflicting observations have been reported regarding the susceptibility of males and females to ischemia and I/R-induced arrhythmias in different experimental and animal models. [19][20][21][22] In a comparable study in which only the incidence of arrhythmias was evaluated, arrhythmic activity was not found to be dependent on gender in I/R arrhythmia models. 23 The reason for this discrepancy may be the way arrhythmias were evaluated.…”

results of the current study indicate that both mitochondrial K(ATP) channel activation and sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel inhibition exert antiarrhythmic action in male rats. The antiarrhythmic effect of pinacidil is not depend on the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel opening. These results also indicate that K(ATP) channel modulators show no discernable effect in female rats due to the already low incidence of arrhythmias in females.

“…By these mechanisms, progesterone could prevent cellular apoptosis also in brain and heart tissues [5][6][7][8][9] . Building on these findings we performed a study aimed at evaluating the protective effect of treatment with progesterone in the TNBS-induced colitis rat model.…”

PURPOSE:To study the effects of progesterone on an experimental colitis model. METHODS:Wistar albino rats were treated subcutaneously with 2mg/kg once a day during seven days Colitis was induced by intrarectal administration of 5mg trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Disease activities, macroscopic and microscopic scores were evaluated.To determine the response provoked by progesterone we measured Colonic malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF alfa, IL-6 and Nitric oxide (NO) levels in addition to the MPO (Myeloperoxidase) and caspase-3 activities. RESULTS:Progesterone ameliorated significantly the macroscopic and microscopic scores. TNBS-induced colitis significantly increased the colonic MDA levels and caspase-3 activities in group 2 in comparison to the control group. The results of the study revealed a decline in MDA, NO, IL6 and TNF-α levels in the colon tissue and in blood due to progesterone therapy in group 3 when compared to the group 2, a significant improvement. Progesterone treatment was associated with decreased MDA, MPO, TNF alfa and caspase-3 activity. CONCLUSION:Progesterone therapy decreased oxidative damage in the colonic mucosa.Key words: Progesterone. Colitis. Inflammation. Colon. Rats. RESUMO OBJETIVO:Investigar os efeitos da progesterona em um modelo de colite experimental. MÉTODOS:Ratos albinos Wistar foram tratados subcutaneamente com 2mg/kg por dia durante sete dias. A colite foi induzida por administração intrarretal de 5mg ácido sulfônico trinitrobenzeno (TNBS). Foram avaliadas as atividades da doença, escores macroscópicos e microscópicos Para determinar a resposta provocada pela progesterona foi medida no cólon os níveis de malondialdeído (MDA), TNF alfa, IL-6 e óxido nítrico (NO), além da atividade da MPO (Myeloperoxidase) e caspase-3. RESULTADOS:A progesterone melhorou significantemente os escores macroscópicos e microscópicos. A colite induzida pelo TNBS significantemente aumentou os níveis colônicos de MDA e a atividade da caspase-3 no grupo 2 em comparação com o grupo controle.Os resultados do estudo revelaram um declínio nos níveis de MDA, NO, IL6 e TNF-α no tecido colônico e no sangue devido à terapia com a progesterona no grupo 3 quando comparado ao grupo 2. O tratamento com a progesterona foi associado com decréscimo do MDA, MPO, TNF alfa e atividade da caspase-3. CONCLUSÃO:A terapia com progesterona decresce o dano oxidativo na mucosa do cólon.Descritores: Progesterona. Colite. Inflamação. Colo. Ratos.Karatepe O et al.

“…Progesterone performs several actions on the heart: it exerts an antiarrhythmic effect by accelerating cardiac repolarization (16) and has a preventive role in ischemia-reperfusion injury via reducing inflammatory response (17). It has been shown to inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis (18), induce vasodilation, and reduce blood pressure via increasing nitric oxide (NO) levels in normotensive and hypertensive patients (19).…”

AimTo assess how ovarian-derived sex hormones (in particular progesterone) modify the effects of single acute stress on the mechanical and biochemical properties of left ventricular cardiomyocytes in the rat.MethodsNon-ovariectomized (control, n = 8) and ovariectomized (OVX, n = 8) female rats were kept under normal conditions or were exposed to stress (control-S, n = 8 and OVX-S, n = 8). Serum progesterone levels were measured using a chemiluminescent immunoassay. Left ventricular myocardial samples were used for isometric force measurements and protein analysis. Ca2+-dependent active force (Factive), Ca2+-independent passive force (Fpassive), and Ca2+-sensitivity of force production were determined in single, mechanically isolated, permeabilized cardiomyocytes. Stress- and ovariectomy-induced alterations in myofilament proteins (myosin-binding protein C [MyBP-C], troponin I [TnI], and titin) were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis using protein and phosphoprotein stainings.ResultsSerum progesterone levels were significantly increased in stressed rats (control-S, 35.6 ± 4.8 ng/mL and OVX-S, 21.9 ± 4.0 ng/mL) compared to control (10 ± 2.9 ng/mL) and OVX (2.8 ± 0.5 ng/mL) groups. Factive was higher in the OVX groups (OVX, 25.9 ± 3.4 kN/m2 and OVX-S, 26.3 ± 3.0 kN/m2) than in control groups (control, 16.4 ± 1.2 kN/m2 and control-S, 14.4 ± 0.9 kN/m2). Regarding the potential molecular mechanisms, Factive correlated with MyBP-C phosphorylation, while myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity inversely correlated with serum progesterone levels when the mean values were plotted for all animal groups. Fpassive was unaffected by any treatment.Conclusion Stress increases ovary-independent synthesis and release of progesterone, which may regulate Ca2+-sensitivity of force production in left ventricular cardiomyocytes. Stress and female hormones differently alter Ca2+-dependent cardiomyocyte contractile force production, which may have pathophysiological importance during stress conditions affecting postmenopausal women.
