The paper “Naringin and trimetazidine improve baroreflex sensitivity and electrical activity of solitary tract nucleus in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury,” published in this journal, found improvement in baroreflex sensitivity in an acute ischemia/reperfusion kidney injury model in rats treated by naringin and/or trimetazidine. Trimetazidine and naringin are substances capable of reducing oxidative stress, documented in many situations. Trimetazidine is a drug with anti-ischemic properties, which acts directly on mitochondria and is able to decrease oxidative stress. Naringin is a polyphenol with […]

This issue of the Brazilian Archives of Cardiology (ABC Cardiol) brings the article “Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Exhibit Reduced Baroreflex Sensitivity That May Be Associated with Increased Body Fat”, by Philbois, SV et al., which draws attention to this clinical condition that is so prevalent in our country and its many aspects related to cardiometabolism, neuroregulation and cardiovascular risk. The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, with an estimated prevalence […]
