We studied the effects of hyperthyroidism on the relation between O2 consumption (Vo2) and the pressure-volume area (PVA) of the left ventricle (LV) in dogs. PVA is a measure of the total mechanical energy generated per beat of LV. Dogs were treated by daily intramuscular injection of 0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg L-thyroxine over 2-5 weeks. Hyperthyroid dogs had a 40 times higher serum T4, a 40% higher sinus heart rate, and a 35% higher LV Emax (an index of ventricular contractility) than euthyroid dogs. Hyperthyroid dog hearts had linear Vo2-PVA relations like euthyroid dog hearts. The regression line was Vo2 = A x PVA + B, where A was 2.30 (dimensionless) and B was 0.53 J/beat per 100 g LV. B was significantly increased with dobutamine and decreased with propranolol, whereas A was not significantly changed by them. These A and B values were comparable to euthyroid data. Hyperthyroidism did not significantly affect myosin Ca-ATPase activity and V3-type myosin predominance, but increased the speed of the force transient response to length perturbation by 20%-70%, suggesting similar increases in crossbridge cycling rate. We conclude that in spite of accelerated crossbridge cycling rate the Vo2-PVA relation was not altered by hyperthyroidism in dogs.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
