Ischemia-reperfusion injury--antiarrhythmic effect of melatonin associated with reduced recovering of contractility.

Abstract:

:The effect of melatonin on reperfusion arrhythmias and postischemic contractile dysfunction was studied in the isolated rat heart. 25 min global ischemia was induced and followed by 30 min of reperfusion. Melatonin (10 micromol/l) was present in the perfusion solution during the whole experiment. Experiment revealed protective effect of melatonin on reperfusion-induced arrhythmias--arrhythmia score was significantly lower as well as the total time of arrhythmias duration was significantly shorter in melatonin group than in controls. On the other hand, post-ischemic recovering of contractility was significantly reduced in melatonin group.

  • Relation of muscle cell contraction and calcium distribution in sarcomere.

    abstract::A model of activation of muscle contraction has been proposed. It is based on calcium diffusion and binding to specific regulatory sites in a sarcomere. Calcium ions activate interactions of contractile proteins and thus the generation of force. The model quantifies the relation between calcium released from intracell...
