The reduction in Ca2+ concentration during diastole and relaxation occurs differently in normal hearts and in hypertrophied hearts secondary to pressure overload. We have studied some possible molecular mechanisms underlying these differences by examining the function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the expression of the gene encoding its Ca2(+)-ATPase in rat hearts with mild and severe compe...

The rapid atrial rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) decreases the ionic current density of transient outward K+ current, L-type Ca2+ current, and Na+ current, thereby altering cardiac electrophysiology and promoting arrhythmia maintenance. To assess possible underlying changes in cardiac gene expression, we applied competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to quantify mRNA c...

The effects of acute bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) of 18-h duration on deep nephron and collecting duct function were studied by micropuncture in 11 weanling rats. After release of BUO glomerular filtration rate was reduced (178+/-15 vs. 1,343+/-119 mul/min per g kidney weight in shams), while urine flow was increased averaging 17.5+/-1.3 vs. 6.8+/-0.72 mul/min per g kidney weight in con...

In supersymmetry the anomalous magnetic moment of particles belonging to the same supermultiplet is related by simple sum rules. We study the modification of these sum rules in the case of the spontaneously broken N=1 global supersymmetry.
