Abstract
A possible participation of polyphosphoinositide metabolism in the excitation-contraction coupling in heart was investigated. Isolated rat ventricles prelabelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol were stimulated by conditions that increase mechanical activity. Both noradrenaline and carbachol increased the basal level of IP3, IP2 and IP by the activation of alpha 1-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors, respectively. Electrical stimulation accelerated inositol lipid degradation by phospholipase C thus enhancing the IP3 level as compared to quiescent ventricles. It is proposed that IP3 may be involved in excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac tissue.Entities:
