B-type natriuretic peptide modulates the action potential and the L-type calcium current in adult rat heart muscle cells.
Natriuretic peptides seem to be a potent regulator of cell Ca2+ signalling in their action on the cardiovascular system. It was therefore the aim of this study to investigate the effect(s) of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) on the action potential and the L-type calcium current (I(CaL)) in the rat left ventricular myocytes. Perforated and whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record act...
متن کاملTransient outward potassium current in ICC.
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are the pacemakers of the gut, initiating slow-wave activity. Several ion channels have been identified that contribute to the depolarization phase of the slow wave. Our aim was to contribute to knowledge about the identity and role of ICC potassium channels in pacemaking. Here we describe a transient outward potassium current in cell-attached patches of ICC. T...
متن کاملClinical applications of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) testing.
Many claims have been made in recent years regarding the utility of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration measurements in the diagnosis, risk stratification and monitoring of patients with heart failure. This paper summarizes the current evidence and provides guidance for practising clinicians. Overall, plasma BNP testing appears to be of most value in the diagnostic arena, wher...
متن کاملTransient outward potassium current and Ca2+ homeostasis in the heart: beyond the action potential.
The present review deals with Ca2+-independent, K+-carried transient outward current (Ito), an important determinant of the early repolarization phase of the myocardial action potential. The density of total Ito and of its fast and slow components (I(to,f) and I(to,s), respectively), as well as the expression of their molecular correlates (pore-forming protein isoforms Kv4.3/4.2 and Kv1.4, resp...
متن کاملEffects of Sleep Deprivation on Action Potential and Transient Outward Potassium Current in Ventricular Myocytes in Rats
BACKGROUND Sleep deprivation contributes to the development and recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias. However, the electrophysiological changes in ventricular myocytes in sleep deprivation are still unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sleep deprivation was induced by modified multiple platform technique. Fifty rats were assigned to control and sleep deprivation 1, 3, 5, and 7 days groups, and sing...
