Abstract: Cardiac excitation–contraction coupling (ECC) is the orchestrated process of initial myocyte electrical excitation, which leads to calcium entry, intracellular trafficking, and subsequent sarcomere shortening and myofibrillar contraction. Neurohumoral &bgr;-adrenergic signaling is a well-established mediator of… read more here.

Abstract: A growing number of metabolomic studies have associated high circulating levels of the amphiphilic fatty acid metabolites, long-chain acylcarnitines (LCACs), with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. These studies show that plasma LCAC levels can be correlated… read more here.
