During severe ATP depletion, sarcolemmal rupture resulting from rigor- and/or Ca(2+)-induced myofilament force development is considered to be an important cause of irreversible cell injury. Recent experiments in our laboratory demonstrated that during prolonged metabolic inhibition (MI) in adult
The chemical phosphatase 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) has been reported to inhibit both Ca(2+)-induced myofilament force development and rigor due to ATP depletion. However, during prolonged hypoxia in cultured ventricular myocytes BDM delays but does not prevent a marked increase in resting
The effect of 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) was investigated during metabolic inhibition (MI) in papillary muscles. MI caused a rapid decrease in developed force and an increase in resting force, along with a decrease in ATP and creatine phosphate (CrP). Addition of BDM before MI decreased maximal
At a resting sarcomere length of approximately 2.2 µm bony fish muscles put into rigor in the presence of BDM (2,3-butanedione monoxime) to reduce rigor tension generation show the normal arrangement of myosin head interactions with actin filaments as monitored by low-angle X-ray diffraction.
Strain softening is commonly reported during mechanical testing of passive whole hearts. It is typically manifested as a stiffer force-extension relationship in the first deformation cycle relative to subsequent cycles and is distinguished from viscoelasticity by a lack of recovery of stiffness,
1. The effects of 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM, 0.2-10 mmol/l) have been examined at different temperatures on calcium transients (measured with aequorin) and isometric force in intact bundles of fibres from soleus (slow-twitch) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL; fast-twitch) muscles of the rat
The effects of orthovanadate (V(i)), inorganic phosphate (P(i)) and 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) on tension, force transients and the catch state (passive tension maintenance) were investigated in saponin-skinned fibre bundles of the anterior byssus retractor muscle (ABRM) of the bivalve mollusc
Increased diastolic chamber stiffness (upward arrow DCS) during ischemia may result from increased diastolic calcium, rigor, or reduced velocity of relaxation. We tested these potential mechanisms during severe ischemia in isolated red blood cell-perfused isovolumic rabbit hearts. Ischemia (coronary
Fish spoilage occurs due to production of metabolites during storage, from bacterial action and chemical reactions, which leads to sensory rejection. Investigating the volatilome profile can reveal the potential spoilage markers. The evolution of volatile organic molecules during storage of European
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to investigate the effects of extracellular ions and agents that modify calcium translocating pathways on oxidative stress induced cell injury.
METHODS
Survival of cardiac myocytes exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP, 0.2 to 2 mM) was estimated by their ability to
1. The interaction between MgADP and rigor cross-bridges in glycerol-extracted single fibres from rabbit psoas muscle has been investigated using laser pulse photolysis of caged ATP (P3-1(2-nitrophenyl)ethyladenosine 5'-triphosphate) in the presence of MgADP and following small length changes
Contractile dysfunction plays a key role in injury sustained by ischemic myocardium at reperfusion, whereas interventions that impede hypercontracture enhance recovery. In permeabilized adult rat cardiomyocytes, the negative inotrope 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM; 10-50 mM) inhibited rigor at low
Secophalloidin (SPH) is known to cause in cardiac myofibrils force without Ca(2+) (half-maximal effect approximately 2 mM) followed by irreversible loss of Ca(2+)-activated force. At maximal Ca(2+) activation, SPH increases force (half-maximal effect < 0.1 mM). We found that SPH at low concentration
The rate of tension development following release of ATP from caged-ATP in the presence of calcium was studied in skinned cardiac fibres from swine. A low-force rigor state was obtained by using butanedione monoxime (BDM) during the induction of rigor. BDM was washed out and following release of ATP
Equatorial X-ray diffraction patterns were recorded from small bundles of one to three chemically skinned frog sartorius muscle fibres (time resolution 250 microseconds) during rapid stretch and subsequent release. In the relaxed state, the dynamic A-band lattice spacing change as a result of a 2 %
