IN the course of an investigation of the specificity of acetoacetate which causes electromechanical
dissociation 1 we found that pyruvate also inhibited contractility of the rat heart and …

Authors' Synopsis Perfusion of isolated rat hearts with a modified Tyrode solution followed
by perfusion with a calcium-free perfusate results in an electromechanical dissociation and …

Recently, vitamin E has been proposed to protect against Adriamycin-induced cardiotoxicity.
We studied contractile decline and ultramicroscopic alterations of the heart of rabbits …

Reperfusion of isolated rat hearts with Ca 2+ -containing medium, after a short Ca 2+ -free
perfusion period, results in irreversible cell damage (calcium paradox). In this study this type …

AUTHORS' SYNOPSIS End-diastolic current thresholds have been measured in 13 open
chested dogs as a function of electrode radius by stimulating the left ventricle with epicardial …

Isolated rat hearts were perfused with a glucose-containing modified Tyrode solution at 37C,
according to Langendorff. After a 15 min stabilization period, the hearts were perfused for 4 …

Reperfusion of isolated rat hearts with Ca 2+ -containing medium, after a short Ca 2+ -free
perfusion period, results in irreversible cell damage (calcium paradox). In this investigation …

Pooled canine blood of different hemoglobin concentration was equilibrated with two carbon
dioxide tensions and the resulting pH's of the samples were measured at 38C. Readings …

This paper analyses the relationships between electrode size and charge, voltage, and energy
thresholds in acute animal experiments. Cathodal stimuli of 1 ms duration are applied to …

Isolated canine kidneys were perfused with either calcium-containing or calcium-free media.
These kidneys did not show appreciable biochemical or functional changes. Renal …
