Abstract

The ability of cardiomyocytes to recover from a proton load was examined in the hearts of exercise-trained and sedentary control rats in CO2/[Formula: see text]-free media. Acidosis was created by the NH4Cl prepulse technique, and intracellular pH (pHi) was determined using fluorescence microscopy on carboxy-SNARF-1 AM-loaded isolated cardiomyocytes. CO2-independent pHi buffering capacity (βi) was measured by incrementally reducing the extracellular NH4Cl concentration in steps of 50% from 20 to 1.25 mM. βi increased as pHi decreased in both exercise-trained and sedentary control groups. However, the magnitude of increase in βi as a function of pHi was found to be significantly ( P < 0.001) greater in the exercise-trained group compared with the sedentary control group. The rate of pHi recovery from an imposed proton load was found to not be different between the exercise-trained and control groups. The Na+/H+ exchanger-dependent H+ extrusion rate during the recovery from an imposed proton load, however, was found to be significantly greater in the exercise-trained group compared with the control group. By increasing βi and subsequently the Na+/H+ exchanger-dependent H+ extrusion rate, exercise training may provide cardiomyocyt...Continue Reading

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

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.
