Abstract：
:Microelectrode and mechanical studies were performed with isolated guinea pig myocardium (right ventricular free walls and papillary muscles) to examine the effects of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). Low concentrations of PAF (10(-8) to 10(-6) M, a range equivalent to the blood concentrations that produce marked hypotension in vivo) had no effects on action potential configuration and contractile force. High concentrations (10(-5) to 10(-4)M) of PAF and LPC per se elicited slow response action potentials with concomitant contraction (restored contraction) in the myocardium depolarized with elevated K+ (25 mM); they also augmented slow responses and restored contractions produced by a low concentration of isoproterenol (10(-8) M). Although these results suggested there was an increase in slow Ca current, the slow responses and restored contractions thus produced were greatly suppressed or abolished by the addition of a beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, sotalol (10(-5) M), and by pretreatment with reserpine (5 mg/kg i.p., 24 h prior). In accordance with our previous conclusions, the present results suggest that direct cardiac action is not involved in the mechanisms of hypotension produced by PAF. It was also shown that high concentrations of PAF and LPC may act nonspecifically as amphiphilic compounds to induce transmitter release from sympathetic nerve endings, which may in turn augment the Ca current channels in the myocardial cell membrane.
