Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channels influence force development and anoxic contractility in a flatfish, yellowtail flounder Limanda ferruginea, but not Atlantic cod Gadus morhua heart.

چکیده
The influence of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (K(ATP) channels) on cardiac performance during anoxia and reoxygenation was investigated in two species of fish showing different cardiac responses to anoxia. Force production in isometrically contracting ventricular muscle preparations from yellowtail flounder is potentiated at the onset of anoxia, while force immediately declines in Atlantic cod preparations. Glibenclamide, a general K(ATP) blocker, impaired oxygenated force development in yellowtail flounder heart but was without effect on cod preparations. The mitochondrial K(ATP) (mK(ATP))-specific blocker 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5HD) improved oxygenated force production in yellowtail flounder heart without influencing contractility during anoxia or reoxygenation. The specific mK(ATP) agonist diazoxide preserved resting tension and eliminated anoxic force potentiation in yellowtail flounder heart preparations. Neither 5HD nor diazoxide affected contractility in cod ventricle preparations. Results indicate that K(ATP) channels can modulate contractility in yellowtail flounder heart and are potentially important in cardiac hypoxia survival in this species.

Mechanisms Controlling Stomach Volume of the Atlantic Cod (gadus Morhua) following Gastric Distension
1. Inflation of the cardiac stomach of the cod induced rhythmic contractions of the muscles and a slow increase in stomach volume towards a maximum. After deflation, the stomach remained relaxed and easily distensible for one or more hours. Section of the vagal tracts to the stomach did not change the response. 2. Inflation in vitro produced a somewhat faster relaxation and a much faster recove...
متن کاملSalinity gradient shapes distance decay of similarity among parasite communities in three marine fishes.
Published data were used to compare the distance decay of similarity in parasite communities of three marine fish hosts: Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, the dab Limanda limanda and the flounder Platichthys flesus in two adjacent areas that differ with respect to the strength of a salinity gradient. In the Baltic Sea, which exhibits a strong salinity gradient from its connection with the North Sea in...

The influence of hypercapnic acidosis upon the heart was examined in four vertebrate species. The CO2 in the tissue bath was increased from 2.7 to 15% at 12 degrees C for flounder (Platichthys flesus) and cod (Gadus morhua) and from 3 to 13% at 22 degrees C for turtle (Pseudemys scripta) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). During hypercapnia, as previously described, there was a decline and re...
