Possible mechanism for the frequency-dependent increases in the cardiac contraction in monkey. 1977

P K Singal, and J C Khatter, and K Prasad

The effects of various interventions on the frequency-dependent increases in the contractility of the papillary muscles of monkeys were investigated. Ouabain (10(-6)M) and KCl-free Krebs-Ringer solution, which are known to inhibit membrane Na+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3), abolished the frequency-dependent increases in the contractility of the papillary muscles. Epinephrine (4.5 X 10(8)M) or quinidine (1.3 X 10(-5)M), which are known not to inhibit the membrane Na+,K-ATPase at these concentrations, did not alter the frequency-dependent increases in the contractility. These results indicate that the frequency-dependent increases in the contractility might be mediated through an inhibition of the sarcolemmal Na+,K+-ATPase.

D010042 Ouabain A cardioactive glycoside consisting of rhamnose and ouabagenin, obtained from the seeds of Strophanthus gratus and other plants of the Apocynaceae; used like DIGITALIS. It is commonly used in cell biological studies as an inhibitor of the NA(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE. Acocantherin,G-Strophanthin,Acolongifloroside K,G Strophanthin
D010210 Papillary Muscles Conical muscular projections from the walls of the cardiac ventricles, attached to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves by the chordae tendineae. Muscle, Papillary,Muscles, Papillary,Papillary Muscle
D011802 Quinidine An optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the CHINCHONA tree and similar plant species. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. It prolongs cellular ACTION POTENTIALS, and decreases automaticity. Quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission. Adaquin,Apo-Quinidine,Chinidin,Quincardine,Quinidex,Quinidine Sulfate,Quinora,Apo Quinidine,Sulfate, Quinidine

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
