Abstract
Under certain conditions, taurine (3.0mM) potentiated cardiac contractile response to ouabain in the normal medium. The potentiation by taurine was also observed in the low K+ medium, in which the positive inotropic effect of ouabain increased. The potentiation as seen in both media was, at least in part, due to the increase by taurine of Ca++ content in the heart. Taurine in the heart was not directly related to this potentiation.Entities:
