The aim of the present study was to establish whether intraamnial administration of toxic doses of isoproterenol to chick embryos increases cardiac accumulation of strontium, the homologue element of calcium. It has been shown that the ability of embryonic tissues (blood, heart, and liver) to accumulate 85Sr decreases significantly during ontogeny. Administration of isoproterenol to chick embryos did not elevate the concentration of 85Sr in the heart. It seems, therefore, that isoproterenol-induced developmental changes in the chick embryonic myocardium are not necessarily due to intracellular calcium (as measured by 85Sr) overload. 相似文献

A group of rats was fed on control liquid diet, while another group was fed on liquid diet containing alcohol up to 36% of the total calories. After 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment ECG, haematocrit, histological structure of the heart, blood pressure, cardiac output, distribution of the organ fraction of cardiac output (by Sapirstein's method and 85Sr labelled microsphere technique), nutritive blood flow and circulatory resistance of the organs were studied. A mild repolarization disturbance was shown by the ECG record of the alcohol exposed animals. Haematocrit values and the histological structure of the heart did not change in any of the groups. Relative heart weight increased, blood pressure, total peripheral resistance and nutritive blood flow of the myocardium decreased, while myocardial vascular resistance increased. There was no significant interaction between the effects of alcohol and the duration of exposure to alcohol for any of the parameters monitored. It is concluded that chronic alcohol intake should be taken into consideration in aetiology of ischaemic heart disease. 相似文献

The development of heart lesions induced by isoprenaline (ISO) was quantitatively evaluated by 203Hg-Mercurascan (MSC) which was taken up and retained in the damaged cells. After the administration of ISO, the MSC uptake increased immediately at a constant rate, which was independent of the dose of ISO. A higher cardiotoxic effect of increased doses of ISO was caused by prolongation of the time during which the development of heart lesions proceeded. Later, when the damaged cells were subjected to cytolysis, MSC uptake decreased. The blockade of the effect of ISO by methypranol immediately stopped any further increase of MSC uptake. The accumulation of other labelled substances (Neohydrin, HgCl2, CaCl2) in the damaged myocardium was compared with the uptake of MSC. MSC and HgCl2 in particular are suitable for the observation of early changes; relatively less CaCl2 accumulated in the damaged hearts, but it can be used for the detection of more advanced lesions. 相似文献

Cardiac hyperactivity and its consequent metabolically induced coronary vasodilation (MCD) were studied in isolated, perfused, electrically paced rat hearts. The alpha-adrenoceptor agonists, phenylephrine and methoxamine, produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the inotropic responses to noradrenaline, dobutamine, isoprenaline, tyramine, and glucagon, while relatively potentiating their MCD reactions. This inhibition was unrelated to the alpha-agonists' known inotropic action and was not affected by catecholamine depletion of the heart. Withdrawal of the alpha-agonists or administration of the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists phentolamine, phenoxybenzamine, or prazosin returned the inotropic and MCD reactions to normal. Neither the MCD response to electrically induced tachycardia nor the inotropic reactions produced by calcium chloride were affected by alpha-adrenoceptor agonists or antagonists. Alone, alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists were shown to potentiate the inotropic responses to noradrenaline and isoprenaline while the MCD was relatively diminished. The responses to glucagon were unaltered by alpha-antagonists. We postulate that myocardial reactivity to sympathetic stimulation can be modulated through alpha-adrenoceptors by the inhibition of processes that mediate cardiostimulation at post-beta-adrenoceptor sites, together with facilitation of those leading up to MCD. Accordingly, this modulation would act to prevent ischaemic damage to the heart by acting to limit the inotropic responses to increasing sympathetic stimulation while maximizing the blood supply to the myocardium. 相似文献

Administration of norepinephrine to thyroidectomized rats activates sharply the [125I]triiodothyronine binding by heart mitochondria and liver nuclei. Epinephrine stimulates the binding by the heart mitochondria and decreases the intensity of this process in the liver and heart nuclei and liver mitochondria As compared to norepinephrine, adrenoxyl is weaker in activation of [125I] triiodothyronine binding by the heart mitochondria and stronger in intensification of binding by the liver nuclei. Physiological concentrations of thyroxine like adrenoxyl administered to intact animals 2h before investigations intensify the uptake of [3H] norepinephrine by sections of the auricles, myocardium and liver. Hyperthyroidization induces contrary changes inthe uptake of [3H] norepinephrine. Norepinephrine administration decreases sharply the uptake of [3H] norepinephrine by sections of the auricles and myocardium. The blocking of beta-adrenoreceptors weakens the uptake. 相似文献

A study of 203 patients with chronic heart block treated with oral long-acting isoprenaline showed that 85 (42%) were maintained satisfactorily on the drug for a mean period of 18.2 months. The survival rates at one, two, and three years were 76%, 64%, and 57% respectively. In 115 patients treatment by pacing became necessary to control symptoms, and in these patients the survival rates at one, two and three years were 83%, 72%, and 60%.The two most valuable guides to patients'' response to oral isoprenaline are the response to a trial dose of intravenous isoprenaline and the type of dysrhythmia associated with their Adams-Stokes attacks. Patients with heart failure with slow ventricular rates and those with angina of effort do not respond to treatment with sympathomimetic drugs.The majority of patients with chronic heart block are elderly, and in view of the complexity of pacing systems, and the need for skilled supervision of paced patients, oral long-acting isoprenaline remains of value in the longterm management of chronic heart block, provided patients are carefully selected for this form of therapy. 相似文献

Rats were treated with mevinolin by intraperitoneal injection (15 days) or dietary administration (30 days). The cholesterol, dolichol, dolichyl phosphate and ubiquinone contents of the liver, brain, heart, muscle and blood were then investigated. The cholesterol contents of these organs did not change significantly, with the exception of muscle. Intraperitoneal administration of the drug increases the amount of dolichol in liver, muscle and blood and decreases the dolichyl-P amount in muscle. The same treatment increases the level of ubiquinone in muscle and blood and decreases this value in liver and heart. Oral administration decreases dolichol, dolichyl-P and ubiquinone levels in heart and muscle, while in liver the dolichol level is elevated and ubiquinone level lowered. In brain the amount of dolichyl-P is increased. Intraperitoneal injection of mevinolin also modifies the liver dolichol and dolichyl-P isoprenoid pattern, with an increase in shorter chain polyisoprenes. The levels of dolichol and ubiquinone in the blood do not follow the changes observed in other tissues. Incorporation of [3H]acetate into cholesterol by liver slices prepared from mevinolin-treated rats exhibited an increase, whereas in brain no change was seen. Labeling of dolichol and ubiquinone was increased in both liver and brain, but incorporation into dolichyl phosphate remained relatively stable. The results indicate that mevinolin affects not only HMG-CoA reductase but, to some extent, also affects certain of the peripheral enzymes, resulting in considerable effects on the various mevalonate pathway lipids. 相似文献

The relative effects of isoprenaline and salbutamol on the inotropic and chronotropic responses of the denervated myocardium of the chloralose anesthetized dog and of the isolated guinea pig atrium, and the inotropic response of the isolated dog papillary muscle were studied. Both the in vivo dog heart and the in vitro guinea pig atrium displayed a similar relative response pattern to isoprenaline and salbutamol with regard to their inotropic and chronotropic responses. However, a comparison of the relative inotropic responses of the dog heart in vivo and in vitro showed that in vitro, salbutamol has a much lower affinity and efficacy for the adrenergic receptors than isoprenaline. 相似文献

In the livers of rats after partial hepatectomy the zinc concentration began to increase soon after the operation, reached a maximum value at 14h, and decreased to the original value by 25h after the operation. In contrast, the plasma zinc concentration continued to decrease during the first 10h after the operation and remained depressed for at least 28h. The plasma and hepatic zinc concentrations were relatively unaffected by sham-operation. Synchronous with the increase in the hepatic zinc concentration after the partial hepatectomy, there was an appearance of zinc-binding protein (Zn-binding protein) in the liver cytosol. Studies with small doses of actinomycin D and cycloheximide suggest that both RNA and protein syntheses are necessary for the induction of Zn-binding protein after partial hepatectomy. A high content of the Zn-binding protein was found in neonatal rat liver. The Zn-binding protein, however, was undetectable 40 days after birth. The Zn-binding protein was also found in the adult rat liver when stimulated to proliferate after the administration of isoprenaline followed by glucagon. These findings indicate a close linkage between the appearance of Zn-binding protein in the liver cytosol and the regulation of DNA synthesis. 相似文献

The authors studed the effect of pregnancy and lactation on the resistance of myocardium against damage. Lesions of the heart were induced by isoprenaline in vivo. The extent of lesions was evaluated macroscopically and quantitatively according to the increased accumulation of 203HCl2 in the damaged heart tissue. In vitro, the damage of the isolated right ventricle was induced by anoxia and the resistance of heart tissue was evaluated according to the recovery of contractility. During the first week after delivery, the extent of isoprenaline-induced heart lesions was increased in nursing mothers as compared with virgin females of the same age. The mortality did not change significantly. Restitution of contractility of the right ventricle in vitro and anoxia was lower than in virgin females. In nursing mothers 35 days after delivery, the mortality and the extent of heart lesions induced by isoprenaline was significantly reduced as compared with virgin females. Furthermore, the resistance to anoxia of their isolated right ventricle was higher than that of virgin females. The reduced effect of isoprenaline lasted for several months after devlivery. The mortality and the extent of isoprenaline-induced heart lesions were not reduced significantly 35 days after delivery in non-lactating mothers, which were deprived of their young. 相似文献

The effects of glucocorticoid excess on regulation of insulin receptors were investigated in dexamethasone-treated rats. Glucocorticoid excess was produced by administration of dexamethasone (0.5 mg/100 g b.w.) 30 min, 4, 12, 18, 24, 42 or 70 h before experiments. This treatment caused time-dependent changes of glucose and insulin concentration in blood, as well as in amounts of specific insulin binding and insulin receptors of liver cells and erythrocytes. The time intervals in which dexamethasone produced the increase in insulin concentration were accompanied with decrease in insulin binding to receptors in membranes of liver cells, while significant changes in insulin binding to receptors of erythrocytes were not observed under the same experimental conditions. The effect is maximal 18 and 42 h after dexamethasone treatment that increase insulin blood level by about 85% and 60%, respectively. Receptor analysis revealed that changes in specific binding of insulin could be due to significant changes in amount of binding sites on cell surface rather than to mild alteration in receptor affinity. These findings suggest that besides the changes in insulin level, the alterations in insulin receptor number and affinity may play a major role in the states of altered insulin sensitivity which accompany glucocorticoid excess. 相似文献

The bronchodilator and cardiac effects produced by aerosols of 0·5% isoprenaline and of 0·25, 0·5, and 1% salbutamol administered in 40% oxygen by intermittent positive-pressure ventilation were compared in 24 asthmatic patients. Isoprenaline and salbutamol in concentrations of 0·5% were equipotent in peak bronchodilator effect; salbutamol was superior in total bronchodilator effect and duration of average effect, but the peak bronchodilator effect occurred earlier after isoprenaline. Significantly greater tachycardia was produced by 0·5% isoprenaline than by the same concentration of salbutamol. The 0·25, 0·5, and 1% concentrations of salbutamol had about the same peak bronchodilator effect, but there was a stepwise increase in total effect and duration of average effect in relation to the concentration used. A similar stepwise increase in heart rate was also noted, but with all concentrations this was significantly less than with 0·5% isoprenaline. It was concluded that a 0·5% solution of salbutamol, which provided maximal bronchodilatation without important tachycardia, was therapeutically superior to the other three treatments. 相似文献

Excessive release or administration of beta-mimetic catecholamines may induce cardiomegaly, necrotic lesions and accumulation of connective tissue in the heart of adult homoiotherms. It was examined here whether similar changes can also be observed at different stages of evolution of the cardiovascular system, i.e. in poikilotherms and in homoiotherms during embryonic life.Sensitivity of the poikilothermic hearts (carp, frog, turtle) to isoproterenol (IPRO) was significantly lower than in the homoiotherms. Necrotic lesions, if present, were localized in the inner spongious musculature which has no vascular supply but which exhibits higher activities of enzymes connected with aerobic oxidation. Moreover, the IPRO-induced decrease of the phospholipid content was also significantly more expressed in the spongious layer. IPRO treatment did not influence the total weight of the fish heart but the proportion of the outer compact layer was significantly higher. These changes were accompanied by an increase of collagen, higher water content and an increase of isomyosin with a lower ATPase activity. The response of the poikilothermic heart to IPRO-induced overload thus differs significantly from that in the homoiotherms.The administration of IPRO during embryonic life of homoiotherms (chick) induces serious cardiovascular disturbances, including cardiomegaly and cellular oedema. Necroses of myofibrils, characteristic of IPRO-induced lesions of adults, were, however, rather exceptional. IPRO did not elevate the concentration of85Sr (as a calcium homologue) in the immature myocardium; it seems, therefore, that IPRO-induced changes of the embryonic heart are not necessarily due to an intracellular calcium overload.It may be concluded that the character of catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is not uniform and depends strictly on the stage of cardiac development. 相似文献

The application of insulin to the liver in rats is followed by an increase of the insulin concentration in the bile. The pathway of insulin from the liver surface to the bile may include a secretory process by the hepatic cells, or it may bypass the hepatic cells, using direct anatomical pathways from blood and lymph to bile. The concentration of insulin in arterial and venous blood, in lymph, and in bile was measured following application of insulin to the liver surface and following peritoneal or intravenous administration. The results confirm that insulin is absorbed from the surface of the liver, but the glucose modulating effect was less effective than after intravenous administration. The insulin concentration in bile was increased after insulin administration by all routes, with the highest and most prolonged increases found after intraperitoneal administration. The results suggest that following transhepatic and intravenous administration, insulin reaches the bile without passing through the liver cells. 相似文献

1. Uptake and subsequent metabolism of purine and ribose moieties was monitored after intravenous administration of doubly labelled inosine. 2. More than 95% was cleared from the plasma within 5 min, and 99% within 20 min. 3. Approx. 50% of the 160 mumol total was rapidly incorporated into liver and kidney. Kidney removed the greatest amount (21 mumol/g wet wt.), about 10-fold more than heart, lung or liver. Lung and heart accounted for only 3%. These tissues then lost radioactivity during the remainder of the experiment. Radioactivity in the skeletal muscle, in contrast, increased from 8% of the injected dose at 5 min to 40% at 60 min. 4. In liver, kidney, heart and lung there was a significant difference in the fate of inosine. After initial incorporation of inosine, kidney predominantly lost inosine; heart preferentially lost purines; lung preferentially lost ribose radioactivity; and in liver the ribose radioactivity was rapidly lost, whereas purine was retained. Some of the ribose moiety was metabolized to glucose, presumably in the liver, and then released into the blood. Ribose radioactivity (probably as glucose) and radioactive hypoxanthine accumulated in skeletal muscle throughout the experiment. 5. Inosine caused a rapid and prolonged increase in the blood glucose content, from 6 to 15 mM in 60 min. This was accompanied by a small increase in plasma insulin. 6. It is concluded that the purine and ribose radioactivity lost from the kidney, liver and other tissues becomes incorporated into skeletal muscle. 相似文献

The action of isoprenaline on the electrophysiological properties of hypertrophied left ventricular myocytes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The electrophysiological effects of the beta-agonist, isoprenaline, on hypertrophied left ventricular myocardium were measured to understand better the arrhythmic effects of beta-stimulation on the hypertrophied heart. Left ventricular hypertrophy was induced in guinea-pigs by constriction of the thoracic aorta. An age-matched sham-operated group served as controls. Isolated myocytes were held under voltage- and current clamp and the effect of isoprenaline on the L-type Ca2+ current, I(Ca), a Cl- current, I(Cl), and action potential morphology were measured. Cardiac growth was mirrored by cellular hypertrophy. I(Ca) and I(Cl) current density were reduced as myocyte hypertrophy progressed. The augmentation of I(Ca) and I(Cl) by isoprenaline was also reduced in hypertrophy, but no other characteristics of the two currents, or the dose-dependency of the action of isoprenaline were a function of cardiac growth. Isoprenaline prolonged the action potential, but to a smaller extent in hypertrophied myocytes. This difference in action potential prolongation was abolished by glibenclamide. The changes to I(Ca) and I(Cl) in hypertrophy would not tend to increase triggered activity in this situation. Under maximum inotropic stimulation hypertrophied myocytes show action potential changes which are consistent with intracellular ATP depletion, and which could enhance the likelihood of re-entrant circuits. A simple diffusion model for oxygen is constructed to demonstrate the possibility of cellular hypoxia in hypertrophied myocytes. 相似文献

Experimental thyrotoxicosis in rats is accompanied by the increase of serum alanine aminotransferase (AlAT), aspartate aminotransferase (AsAT), creatine phosphokinase-MB (CPK-MB) activities and the content of primary products of lipid peroxidation, conjugated dienes, in liver, heart and blood. This suggests impairments in functioning of these organs, which accompany intensification of free radical processes. Melatonin administration resulted in the decrease of AlAT, AsAT, CPK-MB and conjugated dienes; this indicates positive effect of melatonin in this pathology. Thyrotoxicosis is accompanied by the increase of catalase activity in rat liver, heart and serum. Exogenous melatonin decreased specific activity of serum and heart catalase by 22 and 43%, respectively, compared with rats subjected to hyperthyroidism. However, there was insignificant increase in specific activity of liver catalase (by ~15%). Melatonin administration caused a decrease of α-tocopherol content increased in rat tissues under conditions of hyperthyroidism. Thus, exogenous melatonin is capable to reduce intensity of lipid peroxidation in hyperthyroidism and to act as an adaptogen, regulating free radical homeostasis in response to action of pathogenic factors on organism that is associated by concomitant reduction of mobilization of components of the antioxidant system. 相似文献

The role of glycogen content in the heart for the development of isoprenaline-induced myocardial lesions (IML) was studied in Wistar rats and in two inbred rat strains: In IR rats (resistant to the development of IML) and in IS rats (sensitive to IML development).Glycogen content in the heart can be dramatically lowered or increased by various interventions. IML develop during the period of very low heart glycogen content (about 0.6 mg.g–1) induced by isoprenaline administration. In animals with increased resistance to IML, either due to genetic factors or induced by isoprenaline pretreatment a high glycogen content in the heart is found (up to 7.5 mg.g–1).The increase of resistance to IML development and increased glycogen content induced by isoprenaline pretreatment were accompanied by lower basal or ISO-, guanylylimidodiphosphate- (Gpp/NH/p) and forskolin-stimulated activities of adenylyl cyclase. On the other hand, these parameters did not differ between IR and IS rats in spite of the presence of significant differences in the resistance to the development of IML and in heart glycogen content in these two rats strains.These results suggest that genetically determined differences between two inbred rat strains in the resistance of the heart to the development of IML and in the heart glycogen content are caused by factors which are independent of the receptor-adenylyl cyclase complex and are therefore different from those involved in the increase of resistance and glycogen content due to isoprenaline pretreatment. 相似文献

The metabolic effects of the hypoglycaemic agent pent-4-enoate were studied in isolated, beating or potassium-arrested rat hearts. The addition of 0.8mM-pent-4-enoate to the perfusion fluid increased O2 consumption by 76% in the arrested heart and by 14% in the beating heart; the concentration ratio of phosphocreatine/creatine increase concomitantly by 47% and 27% respectively. Perfusion of the heart with pent-4-enoate resulted in a 30-fold increase in the concentration of the pool of tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates in the tissue, about 90% of this increase being due to malate. The sum of the concentrations of the myocardial free amino acids remained virtually unchanged during the accumulation of the tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates. It was concluded that pent-4-enoate can be effectively metabolized in the myocardium and that its metabolism probably proceeds via propionyl-CoA, since pent-4-enoate reproduces many of the metabolic characteristics of propionate in the cardiac muscle. The accumulation of the tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates is probably due to carboxylation of propionyl-CoA. The response pattern of the metabolite concentrations in the cardiac muscle is quite different from that in the liver, in which decrease of the concentrations of the tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates has been observed previously [Williamson, Rostand & Peterson (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 3242-3251]. 相似文献
