Short-term caloric restriction in db/db mice improves myocardial function and increases high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin
Conclusions These findings indicate that even short-term CR protects the heart from MHD. Whether the beneficial effects of CR on the heart could be related to the improved adipose tissue function warrants future investigation. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Is vitamin E supplementation effective in reducing mortality related to cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus? A systematic review
Conclusions Although, two studies showed no benefit from vitamin E supplementation, the remaining studies demonstrated that vitamin E supplementation provided cardiovascular benefits in a specific diabetic subpopulation. The study population that derived a favorable outcome from vitamin E supplementation consisted of diabetic patients with the Hp 2–2 genotype. Hence, further studies should be conducted in diabetic populations with the Hp 2–2 genotype for identifying the definitive effects of vitamin E. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Takotsubo syndrome – A close connection to the brain: A prospective study investigating neuropsychiatric traits
Conclusion The study highlights a high prevalence of psychiatric and neurologic comorbidities in patients with TTS, which so far have been under-diagnosed. Future studies will have to show whether these patients might benefit from a combined psychocardiologic rehabilitation. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Aerobic exercise can ameliorate heart function in patients with myocardial infarction through up-regulating M3 receptor
Conclusions moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can up-regulated the M3 R-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway, thus inhibit the apoptosis of myocardial cells, reduced myocardial interstitial fibrosis and promote cardiac function after MI. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Liquid fructose supplementation in LDL-R −/− mice fed a western-type diet enhances lipid burden and atherosclerosis despite identical calorie consumption
Conclusions SLF, without changing total calorie intake, increases atherosclerosis, visceral adipose tissue and cholesterol burden in a background of overweight LDL receptor knockout mice consuming an unhealthy, Western-type solid rodent chow. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)
