Enhanced Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange activity in cardiomyopathic Syrian hamster.
The signaling of contraction by Ca2+ in the Syrian hamster (BIO 14.6) heart in the late stage of the cardiomyopathy (220 to 300 days old) was compared with that in age-matched healthy hamster hearts. Membrane current and cell shortening or intracellular Ca2+ transients were measured simultaneously in isolated whole-cell-clamped myocytes. The density of the L-type Ca2+ current was smaller in myo...
متن کاملEarly pathophysiological alterations in experimental cardiomyopathy: the Syrian cardiomyopathic hamster.
The Syrian cardiomyopathic hamster (SCH) is an established animal model for genetic cardiomyopathy. The disease in the hamster develops through similar stages to those observed in humans with this condition. The pathophysiological basis for this condition in the hamster resides in an inherited mutation in the gene encoding for delta-sarcoglycan, a component of the dystrophin complex. Two basic ...
متن کاملDiminished tolerance of prehypertrophic, cardiomyopathic Syrian hamster hearts to Ca2+ stresses.
Although abnormal myocardial calcium homeostasis in the cardiomyopathic hamster (CMH) has been documented in the hypertrophic stage of the disease, the Ca2+ tolerance before the hypertrophic stage has not been investigated. We studied isovolumic contractile function in response to a variety of Ca2+ stresses including increases in perfusate [Ca2+] (Cao), the Ca2+ channel agonist Bay K 8644, and ...
متن کاملIncreased compliance in diaphragm muscle of the cardiomyopathic Syrian hamster.
We investigated the hypothesis that diaphragm compliance was abnormal in cardiomyopathic Syrian hamsters (CSH), an experimental model of myopathy. The passive elastic properties of isolated diaphragm muscles were analyzed at both the muscle and sarcomere levels. We used the following passive exponential relationship between stress (sigma) and strain (epsilon): sigma = (Eo/beta) (ebetaepsilon - ...
متن کاملElectrogenic Na+/Ca2+ Exchange
Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) from the squid, Lolliguncula brevis, respond to the odors l-glutamate or dopamine with increases in internal Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)). To directly asses the effects of increasing [Ca(2+)](i) in perforated-patched squid ORNs, we applied 10 mM caffeine to release Ca(2+) from internal stores. We observed an inward current response to caffeine. Monovalen...
