Effects of metabolic blockade on intracellular calcium concentration in isolated ferret ventricular muscle.
Tension and intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) were measured in isolated ferret papillary muscles. When both anaerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation were prevented (metabolic blockade), there was a rapid decline of both developed tension and systolic [Ca2+]i signals. Subsequently, resting tension increased, and after a further delay, resting [Ca2+]i also rose. When o...
متن کاملChanges in intracellular calcium during mechanical alternans in isolated ferret ventricular muscle.
Alternans in heart is important as pulsus alternans in cardiac failure and electrophysiological alternans in myocardial ischemia. The explanation of this phenomenon is still unclear. We attempted to investigate the cellular mechanisms of alternans by measuring intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) with the photoprotein aequorin in isolated ferret papillary muscles. Tension and len...
متن کاملCalcium- and length-dependent force production in rat ventricular muscle.
1. Trabeculae from the right ventricles of rat hearts were ;skinned' by immersion for 30 min in a solution containing the non-ionic detergent Brij-58 at a concentration of 1%.2. The average sarcomere length in the central region of the relaxed preparation was estimated by laser diffraction and set at pre-determined values within the range of 1.9-2.4 mum by adjustment of muscle length. Isometric...
متن کاملModulation by the thyroid state of intracellular calcium and contractility in ferret ventricular muscle.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the cardiac contractile abnormalities induced by hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are caused by changes in intracellular Ca2+ handling or by alterations in the distribution of isoenzymes of ventricular myosin. Right ventricular papillary muscles obtained from euthyroid ferrets and ferrets treated with L-thyroxine (hyperthyroid) or methimazole ...
متن کاملEMD 53998 sensitizes the contractile proteins to calcium in intact ferret ventricular muscle.
EMD 53998 (a thiadiazinone) is an inotropic drug that produces a pronounced increase in the Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile proteins in skinned cardiac fibers. The present study was undertaken to determine whether this effect on Ca2+ sensitivity could explain the increase in tension observed in intact ventricular muscle. The experiments were performed on isolated ferret papillary muscles th...
