Cardioprotection in the aging, diabetic heart: the loss of protective Akt signalling

View Full Paper

Why the study?

Does ischaemic preconditioning reduce ischaemia-reperfusion injury in aged, diabetic rat hearts?

Population

Aged, diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats

Comparison

Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) vs Younger diabetic rat hearts

Design

Preclinical

Key result

Ischaemic preconditioning failed to provide cardioprotection in isolated hearts of aged, diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats compared with younger diabetic rats, likely due to impaired Akt signalling.

Overview

Ischaemic preconditioning may fail in aged diabetic rat hearts; leaves open whether Akt modulation can restore protection in this model.

Outcome
Susceptibility to ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and changes in Akt signallingsurrogate

Aged, diabetic rat hearts show increased susceptibility to ischaemia-reperfusion injury and resistance to ischaemic preconditioning, likely due to impaired Akt signalling from chronic Akt phosphorylation.

Whittington et al. (2013) studied Ischaemia-reperfusion injury in aging, diabetic heart. Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) vs. Younger diabetic rat hearts was evaluated on Susceptibility to sub-lethal injury and achievability of cardioprotection via IPC. Ischaemic preconditioning failed to provide cardioprotection in isolated hearts of aged, diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats compared with younger diabetic rats, likely due to impaired Akt signalling.
