Abstract Background Ceramides are bioactive sphingolipids that have physiological effects on inflammation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. They may play a critical role in the harm of ischemia/reperfusion (IR). Ceramides and IR injury are not well-studied, and there is a lack of human data.…
Aims: Metabolic and structural perturbations in skeletal muscle have been found in patients with heart failure (HF) both with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction in association with reduced muscle endurance (RME). We aimed in the current study to create phenotypes for patients with…
Doxorubicin (Dox) is a chemotherapeutic agent with cardiotoxicity associated with profibrotic effects. Dox increases ceramide levels with pro-inflammatory effects, cell death, and fibrosis. The purpose of our study was to identify the underlying ceramide signaling pathways. We aimed to characterize the…
