Modulation of in vivo cardiac function by myocyte-specific nitric oxide synthase-3.

abstract：RATIONALE:In ventricular myocytes of large mammals with low T-tubule density, a significant number of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are not coupled to the sarcolemma; cardiac remodeling increases noncoupled RyRs. OBJECTIVE:Our aim was to test the hypothesis that coupled and noncoupled RyRs have distinct microdomain-depen...
