Influence of Ouabain on Contractile Force , Resting Tension , Ca 45 Entry and Tissue Ca Content in Rat

چکیده
• In 1958, Thomas and co-workers observed that ouabain caused an increased uptake of Ca in frog heart. Holland and Sekul later reported the same effect in rabbit atria and were able to establish a reasonably good correlation between Ca uptake and changes in resting tension induced by ouabain. Recently, Liillmann and Holland found a small but significant increment in an exchangeable Ca fraction in guinea pig atria during the positive inotropic effect of the drug.

متن کاملEnhancement of sodium-calcium exchange induces positive inotropic action and potentiates ouabain effect in rat hearts.
To study the inotropic effect of enhanced Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange in the rat papillary muscles and isolated heart, the developed tension in the rat papillary muscles was measured and the left ventricular functions were assessed in the isolated rat heart. E-4031, a selective activator for Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange in rats, concentration-dependently increased the developed contractile tension in the ra...
متن کاملRyanodine alteration of the contractile state of rat ventricular myocardium. Comparison with dog, cat, and rabbit ventricular tissues.
To test the hypothesis that ryanodine inhibits the release of contractile Ca from intracellular stores, we compared the contractile responses by rabbit, cat, dog, and rat papillary muscles to ryanodine. Results of cumulative ryanodine concentration (10~ to 10~ M) response studies indicate the following order of sensitivity to ryanodine: rat > dog = cat > rabbit which mimics the relative depende...
متن کاملRho kinase is involved in Ca2+ entry of rat penile small arteries.
Tonic physiological activity of RhoA/Rho kinase contributes to the maintenance of penile flaccidity through its involvement in the Ca(2+) sensitization of erectile tissue smooth muscle. The present study hypothesized that Rho kinase is also involved in the modulation of Ca(2+) entry induced by alpha(1)-adrenoceptor stimulation of penile arteries. Rat penile arteries were mounted in microvascula...
