BACKGROUND: Imbalances in cardiac branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis are implicated in the onset and development of heart failure. However, the mechanisms triggering the downregulation of cardiac BCAA metabolism in heart failure remain unclear. Here, we iden...
INTRODUCTION: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common cardiac condition in adult dogs. The disease progresses over several years and affected dogs may develop congestive heart failure (HF). Research has shown that myocardial metabolism is altered in cardiac dise...
BACKGROUND: Metabolites that are direct read-outs of the functional status of cells, tissues, and organs can be more closely associated with phenotype compared to other omics profiles. Previous studies showed the analytical validity of metabolomic platforms and demonstrated a uti...
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a complex systemic disorder. In this study, we developed a urea-activated nanoparticle (T-PAAD NP) for targeted delivery of Empagliflozin to the renal S1 segment. Untargeted GC-MS-based metabolomics was performed to characterize metabolic reprogra...
Detection of biomarkers was extremely important for the early diagnosis, prognosis and therapy optimization of diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in serum metabolites between patients with heart failure (HF) and healthy controls (HC), and to diagnose HF qualita...
Depression is an individual risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). Recent studies show that gut microbiota and metabolites have critical role in comorbid HF and depressive symptoms. We recruited 95 subjects including 35 HF patients with depressive symptoms (HF-DS), 36...
