Membrane alteration in failing hearts of cardiomyopathic hamsters
Abstract
Cardiomyopathic hamsters (UM-X7.1) show clinical signs of congestive heart failure and an abnormal EKG pattern. The sarcolemmal fraction obtained from the failing hearts at advanced stages of myopathy exhibited no change in the basal adenylate cyclase activity; however, the activity of this enzyme in the presence of catecholamines or NaF was lower in the failing heart sarcolemma than that in the control. The activities of Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and Na+-K+-ATPase in the failing heart sarcolemma were also less than the control values. These results suggest an association of membrane defect with heart failure.
