But we're proposing a more direct consequence, where we have a spike in our blood sugar after eating a meal, and that's binding to these sweet taste receptors on the heart muscle cells, causing a ...

PAG influences the force of heart muscle contractions by interacting with beta-2 adrenergic receptors, which may contribute to heart failure. Mutations in parts of these receptors, previously ...

The identification of a new pathway linking impaired autophagy, a characteristic of heart failure, and increased NAD+ breakdown could open new avenues for therapeutic intervention." ...

Sweet taste receptors in the heart: A new pathway for cardiac regulation New research shows that the heart can sense sweeteners and can increase the force of heart muscle contraction in response ...
