Effect of gliclazide on the functional response to calcium in diabetic rat heart

T Shinzato et al. Gen Pharmacol. 1996 Apr.

Abstract

1. The cardiac functional response to extracellular Ca2+ in isolated working hearts was evaluated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats treated or not treated with gliclazide. 2. Gliclazide treatment of diabetic rats allowed a partial recovery of the body weight decrease, but not of the hyperglycemia nor insulinopenia. 3. The cardiac mechanical response of diabetic rats was altered, especially at high Ca2+ concentration, and 6-week gliclazide treatment restored the dysfunction close to the control values. 4. The results suggest that gliclazide treatment restores the cardiac function of chronic diabetic rats partly through modulating the Ca2+ metabolism.
