Skeletal-muscle troponin I and troponin T were found to be rapidly phosphorylated by cardiac phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, with Km values of 6.66 and 0.13 microM respectively. Stoichiometric phosphorylation of skeletal troponin I (endogenous phosphate content 0.7 mol/mol) indicated that the Ca2+-dependent enzyme and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase incorporated 0.9 an...

Two patients were investigated for unexplained increases in troponin T. In the first patient, who had rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure, troponin T reached a peak value of 13.50 micrograms/L (67.5-fold the upper reference limit). The second patient had chronic renal failure and the troponin T peak value was 2.85 micrograms/L (14.3-fold the upper reference limit). Clinical investigations in...

1. The troponin complex from skeletal muscle contains approximately 1 mol of phosphate/80000g of complex, covalently bound to the troponin T component. 2. On prolonged incubation of the troponin complex or troponin T with phosphorylase kinase the phosphate content of troponin T was increased to approx. 3mol/mol. 3. On prolonged incubation of troponin I with phosphorylase kinase up to 1.6mol of ...

BACKGROUND Troponin-T elevation is seen commonly in sepsis and septic shock patients admitted to the intensive care unit. We sought to evaluate the role of admission and serial troponin-T testing in the prognostication of these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a retrospective cohort study from 2007 to 2014 on patients admitted to the intensive care units at the Mayo Clinic with severe s...

Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and troponin I (cTnI) are cardiac regulatory proteins that control the calcium mediated interaction between actin and myosin [1]. The troponin complex consists of three subunits: troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. This complex is located on the myofibrillar thin (actin) filament of striated (skeletal and cardiac) muscle. The cardiac isoforms troponin T and I are o...

Based on observational studies, there is a linear increase in cardiovascular risk with higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), yet clinical trials have not shown benefit across all SBP categories. We assessed whether troponin T measured using high-sensitivity assay was associated with cardiovascular disease within SBP categories in 11 191 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study participants. Re...

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a single bout of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) release and to explore the potential influencing factors. Methods Twenty-one experienced marathon runners completed HIIE on treadmill. Each bout of HIIE included a hard run (15.8 ± 1.3 km·h-1) at 90% vVO2max for 2 min f...
