Single Ventricular Myocytes From Rats
In vitro biochemical experiments have suggested that stimulation of ,B-adrenergic receptors may increase the rate of crossbridge cycling in mammalian myocardium, but recent attempts to demonstrate a mechanical correlate have yielded conflicting results. To investigate this issue, we measured the effect of isoproterenol (ISO) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) on unloaded shortening velocit...

In this study, the hypothesis that mammalian ventricular myocytes possess A2-adenosine receptors was tested. Electrophysiological, contractile, and cAMP responses to the selective A2-adenosine receptor agonists 2-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethoxyladenosine (WRC-0090) and 2-(2-cyclohexylethoxy)adenosine (WRC-0013) and the nonselective adenosine receptor agonist 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) we...

We have recently shown that J3-adrenergic agonists enhance the cardiac sodium current (INa) in rabbits through dual G-protein regulatory pathways. To determine if muscarinic cholinergic receptor stimulation can also modulate INa, we studied the effects of acetylcholine (ACh) and carbachol on INa in enzymatically dispersed rabbit ventricular myocytes. Whole-cell patch-clamp experiments done at r...

The ionic mechanisms of amantadine-induced changes in membrane potential and automatic activity in guinea pig ventricular myocytes were studied using the suction-pipette whole-cell clamp method. While 25-100 /iM amantadine decreased the action potential amplitude and duration, 200 and 400 pM amantadine lengthened the action potential duration and decreased the maximum diastolic potential with a...
متن کاملDynamic Changes in Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Structure in Ventricular Myocytes
The fidelity of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in ventricular myocytes is remarkable, with each action potential evoking a [Ca²⁺](i) transient. The prevalent model is that the consistency in EC coupling in ventricular myocytes is due to the formation of fixed, tight junctions between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and the sarcolemma where Ca²⁺ release is activated. Here, we tested the hy...
