| Popis: | The aim of this study was to determine (i) whether phosphodiesterase inhibitors influenced ATPase activity of maximally calcium activated cardiac myofibrils and (ii) whether this effect varied in relation to isomyosin composition. Myofibrils were prepared from ventricular myocardium of 2- to 3-month-old rats. ATPase activity was determined at low ionic strength at high (>7.5) and low (4.4) pCa. Five compounds (amrinone, milrinone, enoximone, piroximone, and rolipram) were examined at concentrations between 10 μM and 1 mM. The results obtained showed that only milrinone and amrinone inhibited ATPase activity; inhibition was dose dependent, and milrinone was more potent than amrinone. To assess whether isomyosin composition might influence the responsiveness of myofibrils to phosphodiesterase inhibitors, the effect of 1 mM milrinone was also determined in myofibrils from hypothyroid rats. According to previous observations hypothyroidism caused an isomyosin shift from VI to V3 in rat ventricular myocardium. The inhibitory effect of milrinone was lower in myofibrils prepared from hypothyroid rats than in myofibrils from euthyroid rats.Key words: cardiac muscle, myofibrillar ATPase, phosphodiesterase inhibitors. |
