AB  - Purpose: Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) has proven cardiovascular effects and plays a significant role as an endogenous countermeasure to ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of the current study was to examine the response of alpha-MSH during exercise in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and evaluate its value in the assessment of severity and prognosis. Methods: Forty subjects with documented CAD (i.e., lesions on coronary angiography ≥ 50%) were included. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) on a treadmill (TM) and recumbent ergometer (RE) were performed on two visits, 2–4 days apart, during 2 months of coronary angiography; subsequently, the subjects were followed up for 32 ± 10 months. At rest, at peak CPET, and after 3 min of recovery, plasma levels of alpha-MSH were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Results: Mean ejection fraction was 56.7 ± 9.6%. Alpha-MSH similarly increased from rest to peak CPET on both modalities. There were no significant differences in alpha-MSH values during testing in patients with 1,2- and 3-vesel CAD, nor in patients with a SYNTAX score </≥ 23 (p > 0.05). Among CPET and hormonal parameters, ∆alpha-MSH recovery/peak during RE CPET was the best predictor of cardiac event occurrence (chi-square 6.67, HR = 0.51, CI = 0.25–1.02, p = 0.010). Conclusion: ∆alpha-MSH recovery/peak during RE CPET has predictive value for CAD prognosis, demonstrating involvement of alpha-MSH in CAD and a link between stress hormones and cardiac events.

AB  - Anticipation of stress induces physiological, behavioral and cognitive adjustments that are required for an appropriate response to the upcoming situation. Additional research examining the response of cardiopulmonary parameters and stress hormones during anticipation of stress in different chronic stress adaptive models is needed. As an addition to our previous research, a total of 57 subjects (16 elite male wrestlers, 21 water polo player and 20 sedentary subjects matched for age) were analyzed. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) on a treadmill was used as the laboratory stress model; peak oxygen consumption (VO2) was obtained during CPET. Plasma levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and N-terminal-pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) were measured by radioimmunometric, radioimmunoassay and immunoassay sandwich technique, respectively, together with cardiopulmonary measurements, 10 minutes pre-CPET and at the initiation of CPET. The response of diastolic blood pressure and heart rate was different between groups during stress anticipation (p¼0.019, 0.049, respectively), while systolic blood pressure, peak VO2 and carbon-dioxide production responses were similar. ACTH and cortisol increased during the experimental condition, NT-pro-BNP decreased and alpha-MSH remained unchanged. All groups had similar hormonal responses during stress anticipation with the exception of the ACTH/cortisol ratio. In all three groups, DNT-pro-BNP during stress anticipation was the best independent predictor of peak VO2 (B¼36.01, r¼0.37, p¼0.001). In conclusion, the type of chronic stress exposure influences the hemodynamic response during anticipation of physical stress and the path of hormonal stress axis activation. Stress hormones released during stress anticipation may hold predictive value for overall cardiopulmonary performance during the stress condition. LAY SUMMARY The study revealed differences in hormonal and hemodynamic responses during anticipation of stress between athletes and sedentary participants.

AB  - Background: Understanding the basis of the phenotypic variation in Gaucher's disease (GD) has proven to be challenging for efficient treatment. The current study examined cardiopulmonary characteristics of patients with GD type 1. Methods: Twenty Caucasian subjects (8/20 female) with diagnosed GD type I (GD-S) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (C), were assessed (mean age GD-S: 32.6 ± 13.1 vs. C: 36.2 ± 10.6, p >.05) before the initiation of treatment. Standard echocardiography at rest was used to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed on a recumbent ergometer using a ramp protocol. Results: LVEF was similar in both groups (GD-S: 65.1 ± 5.2% vs. C: 65.2 ± 5.2%, p >.05), as well as PAPS (24.1 ± 4.2 mmHg vs. C: 25.5 ± 1.3 mmHg, p >.05). GD-S had lower weight (p <.05) and worse CPET responses compared to C, including peak values of heart rate, oxygen consumption, carbondioxide production (VCO2), end-tidal pressure of CO2, and O2 pulse, as well as HR reserve after 3 min of recovery and the minute ventilation/VCO2 slope. Conclusions: Patients with GD type I have an abnormal CPET response compared to healthy controls likely due to the complex pathophysiologic process in GD that impacts multiple systems integral to the physiologic response to exercise.

AB  - Objectives: Despite considerable knowledge regarding the importance of stress in coronary artery disease (CAD) pathogenesis, its underestimation persists in routine clinical practice, in part attributable to lack of a standardized, objective assessment. The current study examined the ability of stress hormones to predict CAD severity and prognosis at basal conditions as well as during and following an exertional stimulus.Materials and methods: Forty Caucasian subjects with significant coronary artery lesions (50%) were included. Within 2 months of coronary angiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) on a recumbent ergometer was performed in conjunction with stress echocardiography (SE). At rest, peak and after 3min of recovery following CPET, plasma levels of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) were measured by immunoassay sandwich technique, radioimmunoassay, and radioimmunometric technique, respectively. Subjects were subsequently followed a mean of 3210months.Results and discussion: Mean ejection fraction was 56.7 +/- 9.6%. Subjects with 1-2 stenotic coronary arteries (SCA) demonstrated a significantly lower plasma cortisol levels during CPET compared to those with 3-SCA (p lt .05), whereas ACTH and NT-pro-BNP were not significantly different (p>.05). Among CPET, SE, and hormonal parameters, cortisol at rest and during CPET recovery demonstrated the best predictive value in distinguishing between 1-, 2-, and 3-SCA [area under ROC curve 0.75 and 0.77 (SE=0.11, 0.10; p=.043, .04) for rest and recovery, respectively]. Cortisol peak/rest predicted cumulative cardiac events (area under ROC curve 0.75, SE=0.10, p=.049).Conclusions: Cortisol at rest and following an exercise test holds predictive value for CAD severity and prognosis, further demonstrating a link between stress and unwanted cardiac events.

AB  - The usage of alcohol is widespread, but the effects of acute alcohol ingestion on exercise performance and the stress hormone axis are not fully elucidated.We studied 10 healthy white men, nonhabitual drinkers, by Doppler echocardiography at rest, spirometry, and maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in two visits (2-4 days in between), one after administration of 1.5g/kg ethanol (whisky) diluted at 15% in water, and the other after administration of an equivalent volume of water. Plasma levels of NT-pro-BNP, cortisol, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were also measured 10min before the test, at maximal effort and at the third minute of recovery. Ethanol concentration was measured from resting blood samples by gas chromatography and it increased from 0.00 +/- 0.00 to 1.25 +/- 0.54 parts per thousand (P lt 0.001). Basal echocardiographic and spirometric parameters were normal and remained so after acute alcohol intake, whereas ACTH, cortisol, and NT-pro-BNP nonsignificantly increased in all phases of the test. CPET data suggested a trend toward a slight reduction of exercise performance (peak VO2=3008 +/- 638 vs. 2900 +/- 543ml/min, ns; peak workload=269 +/- 53 vs. 249 +/- 40W, ns; test duration 13.7 +/- 2.2 vs. 13.3 +/- 1.7min, ns; VE/VCO2 22.1 +/- 1.4 vs. 23.3 +/- 2.9, ns). Ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide at rest was higher after alcohol intake (28 +/- 2.5 vs. 30.4 +/- 3.2, P=0.039) and maximal respiratory exchange ratio was lower after alcohol intake (1.17 +/- 0.02 vs. 1.14 +/- 0.04, P=0.04). In conclusion, we showed that acute alcohol intake in healthy white men is associated with a nonsignificant exercise performance reduction and stress hormone stimulation, with an unchanged exercise metabolism.

Ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide at rest was higher after alcohol intake (28 +/- 2.5 vs. 30.4 +/- 3.2, P=0.039) and maximal respiratory exchange ratio was lower after alcohol intake (1.17 +/- 0.02 vs. 1.14 +/- 0.04, P=0.04). In conclusion, we showed that acute alcohol intake in healthy white men is associated with a nonsignificant exercise performance reduction and stress hormone stimulation, with an unchanged exercise metabolism.",

AB  - The aim of research was to determine the effects of maximally therapeutically achievable concentrations of metformin on malignant cells and healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Eight patients with T2D or hyperglycemia and nine healthy volunteers were included in the study. For determination of the influence of metformin on the phenotype of breast carcinoma, 1,410 patients with surgically removed tumors were included. From this group 37 breast cancer patients had DM type 2 or hyperglycemia and were pretreated with metformin alone or sometimes in combination with other antidiabetic drugs. Our results proved that metformin at low concentrations induced mild decrease in survival of malignant cells and PBMC stimulated for proliferation, but it didn't affect survival of resting PBMC. The effects of plasma of hyperglycemic patients who were under metformin therapy on autologous PBMC-induced decrease in survival of MDA-MB-361 cells, was noticeable in some patients. Metformin pretreatment for 24 h of HER2+ MDA-MB-361 cells, which were subsequently treated for 48 h with Herceptin, induced additional decline in cell survival. The analysis of influence of metformin on phenotype of breast cancer cells revealed significantly lower number of diabetic cancer patients treated with metformin with overexpressed HER2+ tumors (p  lt  0.013), while the number of patients with ER+PR+ tumors was not significantly changed (p  lt  0.832). In conclusion, therapeutically used concentrations of metformin exhibit mild cytotoxic action on malignant and dividing normal cells pointing to its preferred role in malignant and autoimmune diseases. The use of metformin was associated with pronounced decrease in HER2 overexpressing tumors.

AB  - A simple and reliable new HPLC method with UV detection has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of mitotane and its two metabolites DDA and DDE. Method development was carried out utilizing systematical approach of the design of experiments (DoE) methodology. For estimation of factors influence on selected chromatographic responses and definition of the optimal chromatographic conditions, Box-Behnken experimental design was applied. The defined optimal separation conditions were: column Restek Ultra Aqua C-18 with pre-column Restek Ultra Aqua C-18 operating at temperature 35 degrees C; mixture of acetonitrile and 0.5% formic acid as mobile phase with 1.2mL min(-1) flow rate and detection at 230nm. As sample preparation method, liquid-liquid extraction was chosen. Method was fully validated and LOQ and LOD were experimentally determined. Finally, method was successfully applied for determination of mitotane and its metabolites in plasma samples of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma.

AB  - This aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol and ACTH receptor polymorphism (ACTHRP) for left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Thirty-six elite male athletes, as chronic stress adaptation models, and twenty sedentary age and sex-mached subjects emabarked on standard and tissue Doppler echocardiography to assess cardiac parameters at rest. They performed maximal cardiopulmonary test, which was used as an acute stress model. ACTH and cortisol were measured at rest (10 min before test), at beginning, at maximal effort, at 3rd min of recovery, using radioimmunometric and radioimmunoassey techniques, respectively. Promoter region of ACTHR gene (18p11.2) was analysed from blood samples using reverse polymerization reaction with the analysis of restriction fragment length polimorphisam by SacI restriction enzyme. Normal genotype was CTC/CTC, heterozygot for ACTHRP CTC/CCC and homozygot CCC/CCC. In all participants, ACTH and cortisol increased during acute stress, whereas in recovery ACTH increased and cortisol remained unchanged. 49/56 examiners manifested CTC/CTC, 7/56 CTC/CCC and 0/56 CCC/CCC. There was no difference in ACTHRP frequency between groups (chi(2)((1))= 0.178, p = 0.67). LV mass (LVM) and LV end-diastolic volume (LVVd) were higher in athletes than in controls (p  lt  0.01) and lower in CTC/CTC than in CTC/CCC genotype (219.43 +/- 46.59(SD)g vs. 276.34 +/- 48.86(SD)g, p = 0.004; 141.24 +/- 24.46(SD)ml vs. 175.29 +/- 37.07(SD)ml, p = 0.002; respectively). In all participants, predictors of LVM and LVVd were ACTH at rest (B = -1.00, -0.44; beta= -0.30, -0.31; p = 0.026,0.012, respectively) and ACTHRP (B = 56.63,34; beta= 0.37,0.40; p = 0.003,0.001, respectively). These results demonstrate that ACTH and ACTHRP strongly predict cardiac morphology suggesting possible regulatory role of stress system activity and sensitivity in cardiac remodeling.
