Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway01:28

Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway

6.3K
Nitric oxide (NO), an inorganic gas, acts as a potent second messenger in most animal and plant tissues. NO diffuses out of the cells that produce it and enters the neighboring cells to generate a downstream response. NO synthase (NOS) catalyzes NO production by the deamination of the amino acid arginine. There are three isoforms of NOS. Endothelial cells have endothelial NOS (eNOS), nerve and muscle cells have neuronal NOS (nNOS), and macrophages produce inducible NOS (iNOS) upon exposure...

Oxidation Numbers

42.6K
In redox reactions, the transfer of electrons occurs between reacting species. Electron transfer is described by a hypothetical number called the oxidation number (or oxidation state). It represents the effective charge of an atom or element, which is assigned using a set of rules.

Pyruvate Oxidation01:15

Pyruvate Oxidation

168.8K
After glycolysis, the charged pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondria via active transport and undergo three enzymatic reactions. These reactions ensure that pyruvate can enter the next metabolic pathway so that energy stored in the pyruvate molecules can be harnessed by the cells.
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...

Light Acquisition02:16

Light Acquisition

9.6K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Light as Energy01:35

Light as Energy

95.9K
The energy required to carry out photosynthesis is light— typically electromagnetic radiation from the sun. The range of all possible wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Photomedicine

Background:

  • Photobiomodulation (PB) utilizes low-level laser therapy (LLLT) within the 600-1000 nm spectrum for therapeutic effects.
  • LLLT is extensively researched for its low side effect profile in various tissues.
  • Potential applications in cardiovascular conditions remain largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the therapeutic potential of LLLT on coronary arteries.
  • To explore PB as a novel treatment for chronic stable angina.
  • To assess the protective effects of near-infrared (NIR) treatment on ischemic heart conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing research on LLLT and its application in different tissues.
  • Exploration of the mechanism of action of PB in cardiovascular contexts.
  • Hypothesizing the efficacy of NIR therapy for myocardial protection.

Main Results:

  • PB, through LLLT, offers therapeutic benefits with minimal side effects.
  • NIR treatment may provide protection for patients post-acute myocardial infarction.
  • PB could be beneficial for ischemic heart conditions unresponsive to revascularization.

Conclusions:

  • PB presents a promising, low-risk therapeutic avenue for cardiovascular diseases.
  • Further research into PB for chronic stable angina and post-MI patients is warranted.
  • LLLT offers a potential non-invasive treatment for myocardial ischemia.
