Abstract:
:Perfusion of isolated rat hearts with Na-free medium resulted in an immediate increase in contractile force followed by a decline and complete loss of contractile force within 25 s. The recovery of the contractile force upon reperfusion was only partial if the duration of Na-free perfusions was 10 min or longer. Ca binding and uptake activities of mitochondria obtained from hearts perfused with Na-free medium did not change significantly. However, Ca binding and uptake activities of microsomes were depressed after 5 min of perfusion. The critical concentration of Na in the perfusion medium for inducing these changes was found to be less than 35 mM. The microsomal Ca-ATPase activity was decreased after 10 min of Na-free perfusion. Only partial recovery of microsomal Ca uptake was observed upon reperfusion of hearts preperfused with Na-free medium for 20 min or longer whereas Ca-ATPase activity in these hearts did not recover at all. These results suggest that the defect in the microsomal Ca transport may be secondary to the development of contractile failure and may partially be associated with the inability of Na-depleted hearts to recover fully their contractile force.
