The effect of hyperosmolality on the rate of heat production of quiescent trabeculae isolated from the rat heart
JOURNAL OF GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY(1996)
摘要
We have measured the rate of heat production of isolated, quiescent, right ventricular trabeculae of the rat under isosmotic and hyperosmotic conditions, using a microcalorimetric technique. In parallel experiments, we measured force production and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)). The rate of resting heat production under isosmotic conditions (mean+/-SEM, n=32) was 100+/-7 mW (g dry wt)(-1); it increased sigmoidally with osmolality, reaching a peak that was about four times the isosmotic value at about twice normal osmotic pressure. The hyperosmotic thermal response was: (a) abolished by anoxia, (b) attenuated by procaine, (c) insensitive to verapamil, ouabain, and external calcium concentration, and (d) absent in chemically skinned trabeculae bathed in low-Ca2+ "relaxing solution." Active force production was inhibited at all osmolalities above isosmotic. Passive (tonic) force increased to, at most, 15% of the peak active force developed under isosmotic conditions while [Ca2+](i) increased, at most, 30% above its isosmotic value. We infer that hyperosmotic stimulation of resting cardiac heat production reflects, in larPe Dart. greatly increased activity of the sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+ ATPase bi in the face of increased efflux via a procaine-inhibitable Ca2+-release channel.
