In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The risk of myocardial infarction is dependent on cardiovascular risk factors including type 2 diabetes (T2D) but underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We identified that red blood cells (RBCs) mediate beneficial cardiovascular regulatory effects under hypoxic/ischemic conditions via signaling by nitric oxide (NO) and soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) in the RBCs. The RBCs become dysregulated in T2D which induces endothelial and cardiac injury. This project investigates the signaling of RBCs in cardiovascular disease and explores novel therapeutic strategies that target RBC function in myocardial infarction and T2D. Aims To determine the * mechanisms behind cardioprotective effect of RBCs in myocardial infarction * signaling behind cardiovascular injury induced by RBCs in T2D Work plan RBCs collected from patients with myocardial infarction, patients with T2D and healthy controls
