One of the most abundant flavonoids present in cacao is (−)-epicatechin (Epi) and this flavanol has been linked to the cardiovascular health promoting actions of cocoa products. We previously demonstrated that Epi reduces infarct size in rodent models of ischemia/reperfusion and permanent coronary occlusion. Reduced infarct size was associated with decreased left ventricular (LV) oxidative stress (OS) and indicators of inflammation factors, which foster myocardial fibrosis. In this study, we examine the antifibrotic actions of Epi in an aging female rat model of pre-heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (pre-HFpEF) as well as its potential to mitigate plasma levels of OS, proinflammatory/profibrotic cytokines, and improve passive and active LV function. Epi treatment [1 mg/(kg·d)] was provided daily by gavage from 21 to 22 months of age, whereas controls received water. A Millar catheter was used to assess hemodynamic function. Subsequently, hearts were arrested in diastole, a balloon inserted into the LV and passive pressure–volume curves generated. Fixed LV sections were processed for collagen area fraction quantification using Sirius Red staining. Treatment with Epi did not lead to detectable changes in LV contractile function. However, passive LV pressure volume curves were significantly right shifted with Epi. Collagen area fraction values indicated that Epi treatment significantly reduces LV fibrosis. Epi also significantly reduced plasma OS markers and levels of profibrotic and proinflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, Epi reduces cardiac fibrosis in an aged, female rat model of pre-HFpEF, which correlates with significant reductions in OS and cytokine levels in the absence of changes in LV contractile function.

Objective: To evaluate the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) in terms of the angulation and bone depth and thickness according to sex, age, and sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns in a Colombian population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Accordingly, the optimal site for miniscrew insertion in this area was determined. Methods: This descriptive, retrospective study included 64 hemi-arches of 34 patients. On CBCT images, the angulation, buccal bone depth (4 and 6 mm from the cementoenamel junction [CEJ] of MBS), and buccal bone thickness (6 and 11 mm from the CEJ of MBS) were measured at the mesial and distal roots of the mandibular first and second molars. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the angulation, depth, and thickness of MBS between male and female patients. The values for the bone around the distal root of the mandibular second molar were significantly greater than the other values. The osseous characteristics were significantly better in participants aged 16-24 years. Class III patients exhibited the best osseous characteristics, with the bone depth at 6 mm being significantly different from that in Class I and Class II patients. Although values tended to be greater in patients with low angles, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: MBS provides an optimal bone surface for miniscrew insertion, with better osseous characteristics at the distal root of the mandibular second molar, 4 mm from CEJ. Adolescent patients, Class III patients, and patients with a low angle exhibit the most favorable osseous characteristics in the MBS area.
