Normal endothelial cell dependent vascular smooth muscle cell function is mediated by nitric oxide (NO), which stimulates soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) production of the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) leading to increased protein kinase G (PKG) activity and vascular smooth muscle relaxation. NO bioavailability is impaired in high glucose (HG). We tested the hypothesis that the sGC sensitizer vericiguat reverses HG-mediated decreased sGC activity in two experimental models, human aortic vas…

Low Dose GLP-1 Therapy Attenuates Pathological Cardiac and Hepatic Remodelling in HFpEF Independent of Weight Loss

Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a therapeutic challenge. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) show clinical promise, and the prevailing hypothesis is that their benefits are primarily driven by weight loss and the downstream benefits of improved functional status. We investigated the weight loss-independent effects of low-dose GLP-1RA therapy in a clinically relevant rodent model of severe cardiometabolic HFpEF. METHODS Ten-week-old male ZSF1 obese rats wit…

Vericiguat rescues cyclic guanosine monophosphate production in human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells and augments vasorelaxation in aortic rings exposed to high glucose

<p class="first" dir="auto" id="d1150034e140"> <b>Background:</b>Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) function relies on endothelial derived nitric oxide (NO) to stimulate cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production through soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), and vasorelaxation. In inflammatory contexts like high glucose (HG), NO availability is reduced. We investigated whether vericiguat, an sGC stimulator, enhances cGMP production in HG exposed VSMCs and vasorelaxation in isolated aortic rings. <p dir="auto" id="…

VERICIGUAT RESCUES CYCLIC GUANOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE PRODUCTION IN HUMAN AORTIC VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS AND AUGMENTS VASORELAXATION IN AORTIC RINGS EXPOSED TO HIGH GLUCOSE

Combination Sodium Nitrite and Hydralazine Therapy Attenuates Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Severity in a “2‐Hit” Murine Model

Background Recent studies have suggested that cardiac nitrosative stress mediated by pathological overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) contributes to the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Other studies have suggested that endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) dysfunction and attenuated NO bioavailability contribute to HFpEF morbidity and mortality. We sought to further investigate dysregulated NO signaling and to examine the effects of a NO‐based dual …
