Abstract
To elucidate role of intra- and extracellular Ca2+ in regulation of rhythm and strength of frog heart contractions, there were studied ECC and isometric contraction of myocardium preparations in response to verapamil, adrenaline, and blockers of alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptors. It has been shown that after an intramuscular injection of verapamil (6 mg/kg), bradycardia develops, the heart rate (HR) decreasing by 50-70 %. Further, the cardiac arrest occurred; however, administration to the animals of adrenaline (100 mg/kg) restored the cardiac rhythm for a short while. After an intramuscular injection of adrenaline at doses of 0.1-10 mg/kg, no essential changes were observed in the potential action amplitude and HR; an increase of the administered adrenalin concentration to 100 mg/kg was not accompanied by the cardiac rhythm stimulation, as this takes place in homoiothermal animals and human; on the contrary, an essential HR deceleration was revealed. Phentolamine (5 mg/kg) gradually decelerated HR rhythm by 32-45 %. The potential amplitude changed insignificantly. A subsequent intracardiac injection of adrenaline (100 mg/kg) on the background of block of alpha-adrenoreceptors produced acceleration of the rhythm (by 13-21%) and f...Continue Reading
