Sertraline alters level of adenosine deaminase activity, oxidative stress markers and cardiac biomarkers (homocysteine cardiac troponin I) in rats
The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...
متن کاملEndogenous Cardiac Troponin T Modulates Ca2+-Mediated Smooth Muscle Contraction
Mechanisms linked to actin filaments have long been thought to cooperate in smooth muscle contraction, although key molecules were unclear. We show evidence that cardiac troponin T (cTnT) substantially contributes to Ca(2+)-mediated contraction in a physiological range of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). cTnT was detected in various smooth muscles of the aorta, trachea, gut and uri...
متن کاملExpression of cardiac troponin T with COOH-terminal truncation accelerates cross-bridge interaction kinetics in mouse myocardium.
Transgenic mice expressing an allele of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) with a COOH-terminal truncation (cTnT(trunc)) exhibit severe diastolic and mild systolic dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that contractile dysfunction in myocardium expressing low levels of cTnT(trunc) (i.e., <5%) is due to slowed cross-bridge kinetics and reduced thin filament activation as a consequence of reduced cross-br...
متن کاملStructure-function studies of the amino-terminal region of bovine cardiac troponin T.
The length and amino acid sequence of the amino-terminal region of troponin T (TnT) is regulated by alternative mRNA processing in both mammals and birds. To study the function of this region, three forms of bovine cardiac TnT were compared: isoforms TnT1 and TnT2, which differ by the presence or absence of residues 15-19 and TnT 39-284. TnT 39-284 was prepared by chemical cleavage of TnT1 at C...
متن کاملA fluorescent probe study of Ca2+ binding to the Ca2+-specific sites of cardiac troponin and troponin C.
Cardiac troponin C (C-TnC) was labeled with the sulfhydryl-specific fluorescent probe molecule 2-(4'-iodoacetamidoanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid at cysteine 35 and 84 to produce C-TnCIA. This modified protein binds Ca2+, undergoes Ca2+-induced increases in alpha helix, and forms a complex with other troponin subunits as does unlabeled C-TnC. C-TnCIA undergoes a small fluorescence decrease ...
