Myoglobin function reassessed.
The heart and those striated muscles that contract for long periods, having available almost limitless oxygen, operate in sustained steady states of low sarcoplasmic oxygen pressure that resist change in response to changing muscle work or oxygen supply. Most of the oxygen pressure drop from the erythrocyte to the mitochondrion occurs across the capillary wall. Within the sarcoplasm, myoglobin,...
متن کاملRegularity Theories Reassessed
Until very recently, regularity accounts of causation have virtually vanished from the scene. Problems encountered within other theoretical frameworks have lately induced philosophers working on causation – as e.g. Hall (2004) or Beebee (2006) – to direct their attention back to regularity theoretic analyses. In light of the most recent proposals of regularity theories, the essay at hand will t...
متن کاملImplication of CO inactivation on myoglobin function.
Myoglobin (Mb) has a purported role in facilitating O2 diffusion in tissue, especially as cellular PO2 drops or the respiration demand increases. Inhibiting Mb with CO under conditions that accentuate the facilitated diffusion role should then elicit a significant physiological response. In one set of experiments, the perfused myocardium received buffer with decreasing PO2 (225, 129, and 64 mmH...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of antidepressant treatment reassessed.
BACKGROUND A recent simulation concluded that the serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine was more cost-effective than the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) imipramine, despite substantially higher medication acquisition costs. METHOD We replicated the previous model and revised key assumptions which drove the results. The revised model was subjected to sensitivity analysis. RE...
متن کاملAdaptive mechanisms that preserve cardiac function in mice without myoglobin.
Mice lacking myoglobin survive to adulthood and meet the circulatory demands of exercise and pregnancy without cardiac decompensation. In the present study, we show that many myoglobin-deficient embryos die in utero at midgestation with signs of cardiac failure. Fetal mice that survive to gestational day 12.5, however, suffer no subsequent excess mortality. Survival in the absence of myoglobin ...
