Imbrogno, evidenced by manuscripts published in international journals and by conference communications, has described important mechanisms of cardiac performance modulation in vertebrates. By using different paradigms of cardiac organization both of fish (temperate teleosts) and amphibians (frog) and of mammals (rat), the studies analyzed aspects of unity and diversity in signal transduction systems activated by autocrine-paracrine modulators (e.g., Angiotensin II, Chromogranin A and its derived peptides, GLP-2, Nesfatin-1, Phoenixin-14, Selenoprotein T), with particular reference to the Nitric Oxide transduction pathway. Studies carried out on teleost fish also analysed the morpho-functional circuits that contribute to organ plasticity in response to ontogenetic growth, as in the case of the morphometric and hemodynamic analysis of the heart of the growing eel. In the context of the adaptive comparative physiology, the research analyses, from cell to tissue and organ level, aspects of structural, ultrastructural and functional adaptive remodelling in response to humoral stress, as in the case of chronic exposure of teleost fish to Angiotensin II and environmental challenges (e.g., temperature and oxygen availability), and toxicants exposition. Ongoing main research lines: - Receptors and signal transduction pathways - Cardiac morpho-functional plasticity in response to environmental stress - The NOS/NO system in the transduction of physical and chemical stimuli - Oxidative and nitrosative stress biomarkers and pro-inflammatory mediators COLLABORATIONS In addition to the numerous collaborations with colleagues at Unical, Prof Imbrogno's research is carried out in scientific synergy with relevant national and international scientists, including: Jose Manuel Icardo - Univ. of Cantabria, Santander, Spain Angela Fago - Univ. of Aarhus, Denmark Frank Bo Jensen - Univ. of Odense, Denmark Angelo Corti - DIBIT, Milan Sushil Mahata - Univ. of San Diego, California Peng Loh - NIH, Bethesda, USA Maria-Helen Metz-Boutigue - INSERM, Strasburg, France Are Nylund - Univ. of Bergen, Norway Anne Sverdrup - Univ. of Bergen, Norway Youssef Anouar - INSERM, Rouen, France Tiziano Verri - Univ. of Salento Flavia Mulè - Univ. of Palermo Nicola Amodio - Univ. of Magna Graecia, CZ AFFILIATION TO SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES “Società Italiana di Fisiologia (SIF)” Society of Experimental Biology (SEB) “Società Italiana di Ricerche Cardiovascolari (SIRC)” “Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale (SIBS)” “Comunità Scientifica Stazione Zoologica A.
