In this study, we used 31P NMR to investigate the relationship between cardiac workload and creatine kinase flux in intact pigs. NMR measurements were performed on anesthetized miniature swine in which a surface coil was surgically implanted on the surface of the left ventricle. Cardiac workload was varied by infusion of norepinephrine. Phosphate exchange between creatine phosphate and ATP was measured by a combined saturation transfer, saturation recovery pulse sequence. Exchange measurements showed that creatine kinase flux and concentrations of PCr and ATP were independent of workload for a 2.5-fold range of cardiac rate-pressure products. It appears that, if creatine kinase flux is coupled to work load, the pig heart operates in a regime where small changes in metabolite concentrations or creatine kinase flux are sufficient to maintain elevated workloads. Exchange and relaxation measurements, at 2.0 and 4.7 T, yielded T1 relaxation times for creatine phosphate and ATP which are longer than most reported values. Analysis of the T1 data indicates that chemical-shift anisotropy is a plausible mechanism for a portion of the spin-lattice relaxation rate at high field strengths.

D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.

D006321 Heart The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood. Hearts
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.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
