Effect of selenium on the contractile force of isolated and perfused guinea-pig heart. 1980

F Franconi, and N Manghi, and A Giotti, and F Martini, and G Dini

Sodium selenite showed a negative inotropic effect on isolated and perfused guinea-pig heart. The effect was dose-dependent and was not reversed by a higher calcium concentration or by washing. Electronic microscopy revealed mitochondrial alterations. Pyruvate and lactate 2 X 10(-3)M seemed able to reverse the negative inotropic effect and mitochondrial alterations induced by sodium selenite.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D008297 Male Males
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
