Electron microscopic studies on ATPase activities in myocardial infarction. 1976

K Ozawa, and T Katagiri, and F Yoshida, and H Niitani, and Y Nakai

Comparative studies of the fine structural changes and histochemical examination of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity were performed in canine ischemic heart muscle cells following left coronary artery ligation. In the intact myocardial cells, the ATPase activities were observed most intensely in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), particularly in the terminal cisternae (TC), and moderately around gap junctions of the intercalated discs and on myofilaments. Ischemic cellular changes occurred three to 24 hours after coronary ligation and became severe after three to seven days. ATPase activities decreased at around 48 hours and also became weak at three to seven days. Two to three weeks after ligation, improvement of the fine structure and increase in ATPase activities were observed in the ischemic cells, suggesting recovery. ATPase activities in the ischemic cardiac cells appeared to be decreased in parallel with the process of the fine structural changes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart.

D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
