Early postnatal changes in sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transport function in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

abstract：:Previous studies in isolated perfused heart and in atrial preparations have demonstrated significant reductions in beating rate in STZ-induced diabetic rats, which suggests that sinus arrhythmias in diabetes mellitus may be partly caused by intrinsic alteration of sino-atrial node (SAN) function. The effects of diabet...
