Systolic [Ca2+]i regulates diastolic levels in rat ventricular myocytes
KEY POINTS For the heart to function as a pump, intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ) must increase during systole to activate contraction and then fall, during diastole, to allow the myofilaments to relax and the heart to refill with blood. The present study investigates the control of diastolic [Ca2+ ]i in rat ventricular myocytes. We show that diastolic [Ca2+ ]i is increased by man...
متن کاملInhibition of L-type Ca2+ current by ginsenoside Rd in rat ventricular myocytes
BACKGROUND Ginsenoside Rd (GSRd), one of the most abundant ingredients of Panax ginseng, protects the heart via multiple mechanisms including the inhibition of Ca(2+) influx. We intended to explore the effects of GSRd on L-type Ca(2+) current (I Ca,L) and define the mechanism of the suppression of I Ca,L by GSRd. METHODS Perforated-patch recording and whole-cell voltage clamp techniques were ...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of L-type Ca2+ current by SR Ca2+ release at the T-tubules and surface membrane of rat ventricular myocytes.
We have characterized modulation of ICa by Ca2+ at the t-tubules (ie, in control cells) and surface sarcolemma (ie, in detubulated cells) of cardiac ventricular myocytes, using the whole-cell patch clamp technique to record ICa. ICa inactivation was significantly slower in detubulated cells than in control cells (27.1+/-7.8 ms, n=22, versus 16.4+/-7.9 ms, n=22; P<0.05). In atrial myocytes, whic...
متن کاملSR Ca2+ refilling upon depletion and SR Ca2+ uptake rates during development in rabbit ventricular myocytes.
While it has been reported that a sparse sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and a low SR Ca(2+) pump density exist at birth, we and others have recently shown that significant amounts of Ca(2+) are stored in the neonatal rabbit heart SR. Here we try to determine developmental changes in SR Ca(2+) loading mechanisms and Ca(2+) pump efficacy in rabbit ventricular myocytes. SR Ca(2+) loading (load(SR)) a...
متن کاملThe effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on systolic and diastolic function in rat ventricular myocytes
The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is associated with myocardial dysfunction observed in sepsis and septic shock. There are two fundamental components to this dysfunction. (1) systolic dysfunction; and (2) diastolic dysfunction. The aim of these experiments was to determine if any aspect of whole-heart dysfunction could be explained by alterations to global intrace...
