Forskolin, cyclic nucleotides and positive inotropism in isolated papillary muscles of the rabbit
Abstract
The effects of forskolin, isoprenaline, sodium nitroprusside and the frequency of stimulation were examined on cyclic nucleotide levels and tension responses in rabbit isolated right ventricular papillary muscles. Increasing the frequency of stimulation from 0.01 Hz to 1.6 Hz induced positive inotropic responses that were not obviously related to alterations in the level of either cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. Isoprenaline induced rapid, …
