contracture/triacylglycerol

We have recently shown that a triacylglycerol (TG)-fatty acid cycle is operating in rat myocardial cells incubated in a hypoxic, glucose-containing incubation medium (Myrmel et al., 1991a). In the present study we investigated whether this cycle occurred in hypoxic, glucose-deprived myocytes, and

The aim of the investigation was to assess whether L-carnitine, an essential cofactor in the mitochondrial transfer of fatty acids, would ameliorate the hypoxic-induced disturbances in the isolated rat atria. During hypoxia, the atria released lactate into the bathing medium and underwent a rise in

The aim of the investigation was to assess whether endogenous triacylglycerol contributes to the maintenance of the contractile and pacemaker activities of the isolated atria from fed and fasted rats. To attain this information, the atria were treated with methylpalmoxirate which is a potent
