human heart extract: sc-363763

Human heart extract is derived from the cardiac tissue of the human heart, an organ renowned for its role in pumping blood throughout the body. This extract is composed of a complex mixture of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes), connective tissue, and a rich array of proteins and enzymes that are crucial for cardiac function and metabolism. The extraction process involves the meticulous dissection of heart tissue, followed by homogenization to break down the cells and release intracellular components, and subsequent purification to isolate specific biochemical substances. In research, human heart extract provides a vital resource for studying the biochemical and physiological mechanisms underlying heart function, including muscle contraction, electrical conduction, and the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure. Scientists utilize this extract to explore the molecular basis of heart muscle metabolism and energy production, investigating how heart cells utilize nutrients and manage oxidative stress. Furthermore, it is used in studies focused on understanding the processes of cardiac hypertrophy and the molecular signaling pathways involved in heart development and adaptation. Through these applications, human heart extract contributes significantly to our knowledge of cardiovascular biology, offering insights that help explain the complex dynamics of heart health and disease.
