Dynamic changes in scope for heart rate and cardiac autonomic control during warm acclimation in rainbow trout.

چکیده
Time course studies are critical for understanding regulatory mechanisms and temporal constraints in ectothermic animals acclimating to warmer temperatures. Therefore, we investigated the dynamics of heart rate and its neuro-humoral control in rainbow trout ( ITALIC! Onchorhynchus mykissL.) acclimating to 16°C for 39 days after being acutely warmed from 9°C. Resting heart rate was 39 beats min(-1)at 9°C, and increased significantly when fish were acutely warmed to 16°C ( ITALIC! Q10=1.9), but then declined during acclimation ( ITALIC! Q10=1.2 at day 39), mainly due to increased cholinergic inhibition while the intrinsic heart rate and adrenergic tone were little affected. Maximum heart rate also increased with warming, although a partial modest decrease occurred during the acclimation period. Consequently, heart rate scope exhibited a complex pattern with an initial increase with acute warming, followed by a steep decline and then a subsequent increase, which was primarily explained by cholinergic inhibition of resting heart rate.

Cardiac Remodeling in Fish: Strategies to Maintain Heart Function during Temperature Change
Rainbow trout remain active in waters that seasonally change between 4°C and 20°C. To explore how these fish are able to maintain cardiac function over this temperature range we characterized changes in cardiac morphology, contractile function, and the expression of contractile proteins in trout following acclimation to 4°C (cold), 12°C (control), and 17°C (warm). The relative ventricular mass ...
متن کاملElectrophysiological properties and expression of the delayed rectifier potassium (ERG) channels in the heart of thermally acclimated rainbow trout.
In ectotherms, compensatory changes in ion channel number and activity are needed to maintain proper cardiac function at variable temperatures. The rapid component of the delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) is important for repolarization of cardiac action potential and, therefore, crucial for regulation of cellular excitability and heart rate. To examine temperature plasticity of cardiac IKr, w...
متن کاملCa2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum in fish heart: effects of thermal acclimation.
This study was designed to compare the activities of sarcoplasmic (SR) Ca2+-ATPase and Ca2+ uptake in fish and mammalian hearts and to determine whether thermal acclimation has any effect on the function of the cardiac SR in fish. To this end, we measured thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+-ATPase activity and thapsigargin-inhibitable Ca2+ uptake velocity in crude cardiac homogenates of newborn and adu...
متن کاملCloning and expression of cardiac Kir2.1 and Kir2.2 channels in thermally acclimated rainbow trout.
Potassium currents are plastic entities that modify electrical activity of the heart in various physiological conditions including chronic thermal stress. We examined the molecular basis of the inward rectifier K+ current (IK1) in rainbow trout acclimated to cold (4 degrees C, CA) and warm (18 degrees C, WA) temperature. Inward rectifier K+ channel (Kir)2.1 and Kir2.2 transcripts were expressed...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent expression of sarcolemmal K(+) currents in rainbow trout atrial and ventricular myocytes.
Temperature has a strong influence on the excitability and the contractility of the ectothermic heart that can be alleviated in some species by temperature acclimation. The molecular mechanisms involved in the temperature-induced improvement of cardiac contractility and excitability are, however, still poorly known. The present study examines the role of sarcolemmal K(+) currents from rainbow t...
