In eight isolated, cross-circulated canine hearts, we used a fast servo pump to inject a volume pulse into the base of the left ventricular chamber at late diastole and at late systole. We measured the transit time of the volume pulse wave as it traversed the distance from base to apex and calculated the intraventricular PWV. The intraventricular PWV increased from diastole (2.3 +/- 0.4 m/s) to systole (11.7 +/- 2.4 m/s, P < 0.0001 vs. diastole). The square of the intraventricular PWV at late systole correlated linearly with the left ventricular end-systolic elastance (r = 0.939, P < 0.0001) and with the end-systolic Young's modulus (r = 0.901, P < 0.0001). Moreover, the intraventricular PWV was insensitive to preload. We conclude that the intraventricular PWV at late systole reflects left ventricular end-systolic elastance reasonably well. The fact that estimation of PWV does not require volume measurement or load manipulation makes this technique an attractive means of assessing ventricular contractility.","PeriodicalId":7590,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physiology","volume":"277 6","pages":"H2409-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1152/ajpheart.1999.277.6.H2409","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21457777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, myocardial protection and S-T segment changes during ischemia are dissociated.

The present study investigates whether prostaglandins alter ANG II-mediated increases in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) isolated from rat renal preglomerular arterioles. [Ca2+]i was assessed using the calcium-sensitive dye fura 2 and a microscope-based photometer system. ANG II (10(-7) M) caused a biphasic, time-dependent [Ca2+]i response: an initial peak increase from 52 +/- 7 to 264 +/- 25 nM, followed by a sustained plateau of 95 +/- 9 nM in cultured VSMC. Coadministration of PGE2 or PGI2 or synthetic mimetics caused dose-dependent decreases in the peak [Ca2+]i response to ANG II, with attenuation of 40-50%. This degree of inhibition was even more pronounced in individual freshly isolated preglomerular VSMC. Increasing cAMP levels in cultured VSMC, by using either a cell-permeable analog or inhibiting phosphodiesterase activity, mirrored the antagonistic effects of prostaglandins on ANG II-stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i. Radioimmunoassays demonstrate that ANG II (10(-7) M) stimulates production of PGI2 and PGE2; the stable prostacyclin metabolite 6-keto-PGF(1alpha) was released in 10-fold greater concentrations than PGE(2.) Indomethacin blockade of prostaglandin production potentiated both the peak (264 to 337 +/- 26 nM) and sustained [Ca2+]i responses (95 to 181 +/- 22 nM) to ANG II. When prostaglandin analogs were added during indomethacin treatment, the ANG II response was restored to the typical pattern. In conclusion, we demonstrate that modulation of intracellular calcium levels is one mechanism by which prostaglandins can buffer ANG II-mediated constriction in renal preglomerular VSMC. PGI2 is more potent than PGE2 in this regard.","PeriodicalId":7590,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physiology","volume":"277 6","pages":"F850-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1152/ajprenal.1999.277.6.F850","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21457790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under hyperinsulinemic hyperglycemic condition, the GK flux was increased. The G-6-P concentration was not or only weakly decreased. The inhibition of HGP involved a significant 25% inhibition of the G-6-Pase activity. Under similar conditions in fasted rats, the GK flux was very low. The suppression of G-6-Pase and HGP did not occur, despite plasma insulin and glucose concentrations similar to those in PA rats. Therefore, 1) insulin suppresses HGP in euglycemia by solely decreasing the G-6-P concentration; 2) when combining both hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, the suppression of HGP involves the inhibition of the G-6-Pase activity; and 3) a sustained glucose-phosphorylation flux might be a crucial determinant in the inhibition of G-6-Pase and of HGP.","PeriodicalId":7590,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physiology","volume":"277 6","pages":"E984-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1152/ajpendo.1999.277.6.E984","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21458509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maternal undernutrition (85% ad libitum intake throughout pregnancy) reduced birth weight (-13%).

The response to cholesterol feeding in female offspring was not altered by variable maternal nutrition or size at birth.

This study was undertaken to describe the systemic and coronary metabolic O2 reserve in an awake sheep model of hyperdynamic sepsis comparing two different hemoglobin levels. Twenty-four hours after sheep were rendered septic by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP), blood transfusion (n = 7, hemoglobin = 120 g/l) and isovolemic hemodilution (n = 8, hemoglobin = 70 g/l), respectively, were performed.

In this study, we examined the electrophysiological and mechanical consequences of cardiospecific overexpression of the canine cardiac exchanger NCX1.1 and a deletion mutant of NCX1.1 (Delta680-685), devoid of intracellular Na+ (Na+i)- and Ca2+ (Ca2+i)- dependent regulatory properties, in transgenic mice. Using the giant excised patch-clamp technique, normal ionic regulation was observed in membrane patches from cardiomyocytes isolated from control and transgenic mice overexpressing NCX1.1. In contrast, ionic regulation was nearly abolished in mice overexpressing Delta680-685, indicating that the native regulatory processes could be overwhelmed by expression of the transgene. To address the physiological consequences of ionic regulation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, we examined postrest force development in papillary muscles from NCX1.1 and Delta680-685 transgenic mice. Postrest potentiation was found to be substantially greater in Delta680-685 than in NCX1.1 transgenic mice, supporting the notion that ionic regulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchange plays a significant functional role in cardiac contractile properties.","PeriodicalId":7590,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physiology","volume":"277 6","pages":"H2212-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1152/ajpheart.1999.277.6.H2212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21458557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
