Species- and preparation-dependence of stretch effects on sino-atrial node pacemaking.
Acute dilation of the right atrium (e.g., via increased venous return) raises spontaneous beating rate (BR) of the heart in many species. Neural mechanisms contribute to this behavior in vivo, but a positive chronotropic response to stretch can also be observed in isolated right atrial tissue preparations and even at the level of single sino-atrial node (SAN) cells. The underlying mechanism has...
متن کاملPacemaker mechanism of porcine sino-atrial node cells.
In cardiac sino-atrial node (SAN) cells, time- and voltage-dependent changes in the gating of various ionic currents provide spontaneous, stable and repetitive firing of action potentials. To address the ionic nature of the species-dependent heart rate, action potentials and membrane currents were recorded in single cells dissociated from the porcine SAN, and compared with those from SAN cells ...
متن کاملLocalisation and functional significance of ryanodine receptors during beta-adrenoceptor stimulation in the guinea-pig sino-atrial node.
OBJECTIVE Recent evidence shows that calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays an important role in the regulation of heart rate. The aim of this study was to investigate the subcellular distribution of ryanodine receptors in the guinea-pig sino-atrial (SA) node and to determine their functional role in the regulation of pacemaker frequency in response to beta-adrenoceptor sti...
متن کاملPossible Mechanism(s) of the Relaxant Effects of Achillea wilhelmsii on Guinea-Pig Tracheal Chains
Achillea wilhelmsii have been used in folk remedies. The relaxant effects of the extractof A. wilhelmsii on tracheal chains of guinea pigs were examined. The relaxant effects offour cumulative concentrations of the extract, theophylline and saline were examined bytheir relaxant effects on precontracted tracheal chains of guinea pig by KCl (group 1), 10 μMmethacholine (group 2), incubated tissue...
