Intracellular calcium levels are unchanged in the diabetic heart.
The quality control indices of myocyte isolation (viability, yield, survival time, cell response, etc.) suggest that the adult rat myocyte model is stable and useful in [Ca2+]i measurements and functional studies at the cellular level. Moreover, diabetic cardiomyocytes are a valuable model for studying cellular functions of the diabetic heart as they retain most of the features of cardiac dysfu...
متن کاملMechanisms for Intracellular Calcium Regulation in Heart
Initial velocities of energy-dependent Ca(++) uptake were measured by stopped-flow and dual-wavelength techniques in mitochondria isolated from hearts of rats, guinea pigs, squirrels, pigeons, and frogs. The rate of Ca(++) uptake by rat heart mitochondria was 0.05 nmol/mg/s at 5 microM Ca(++) and increased sigmoidally to 8 nmol/mg/s at 200 microM Ca(++). A Hill plot of the data yields a straigh...
متن کاملSerum calcium levels are not associated with coronary heart disease
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have reported that low calcium intake is related to a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between serum calcium and coronary heart disease is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare serum calcium levels in patients with coronary heart disease and those in healthy individuals. METHODS This retrospective, case-control stud...
متن کاملIntracellular Na(+) concentration is elevated in heart failure but Na/K pump function is unchanged.
BACKGROUND Intracellular sodium concentration ([Na(+)](i)) modulates cardiac contractile and electrical activity through Na/Ca exchange (NCX). Upregulation of NCX in heart failure (HF) may magnify the functional impact of altered [Na(+)](i). METHODS AND RESULTS We measured [Na(+)](i) by using sodium binding benzofuran isophthalate in control and HF rabbit ventricular myocytes (HF induced by a...
متن کاملA Study on the Effects of Modulation of Intracellular Calcium on Excisional Wound Healing in Rabbit
An in vitro study on the role of intracellular calcium ions in healing of excisional wound in rabbit was undertaken. We employed two drugs namely, glibenclamide and nitroglycerin that are topically applied in vivo to modulate the activity of intracellular calcium. Our model consisted of a 15 ´ 15 mm excisional wound. Seven groups of New Zealand rabbits were used. The first three groups served a...
