Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how short-term treatment with L-NAME affects left ventricle myocytes and proteins responsible for calcium homeostasis in rats.!
- Results showed that L-NAME-treated rats exhibited improved contractile function of heart cells, with significant increases in fractional shortening and maximum rate of shortening compared to untreated controls.!
- Despite these improvements in contractile function at the cellular level, both groups displayed similar overall cardiac function measurements, suggesting that increased expression of calcium regulatory proteins can enhance myocyte performance without altering broader heart function metrics.!
Background: Physical exercise induces hemodynamic stress.
Objective: To evaluate if voluntary running and forced running induced different levels of stress protein (Hsp72) in the myocardium of female Wistar rats.
Methods: Female rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: forced treadmill running group (FR; n= 6), voluntary running group (VR; n=6) and control group (C; n=6).
