Abstract

Energy deficiency caused by 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), stimulates cardiac activity, increases noradrenaline (NA) content in the heart, but decreases the latter's adrenoreactivity. The removal of stellate ganglia reduces myocardial hyperfunction and prevents the rise of the cardiac NA content. Increasing the dose of 2,4-DNP inhibits cardiac activity and reduces cardiac NA and myocardial adrenoreactivity. Prolonged 2,4-DNP administration increases resistance to hypoxia in rats. Ten-day exposure to 2,4-DNP enhances the stability of the cardiac NA level and myocardial adrenoreactivity. By day 20, the reserve potential of myocardial contractility is enhanced, but the adaptive changes in the myocardial neuronic apparatus disappear. When circulation is stimulated, adaptive changes in sympathetic neurons and the myocardium develop and disappear after a certain pattern under the effect of energy deficiency.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
