Pythons are infrequent feeders that can ingest meals equal to their own body mass. The extreme metabolic response required to digest such large meals is associated with a dramatic increase in the mass of most organs, including the heart. Recently, we have been able to assess functional effects of feeding using isolated python cardiomyocytes and myofibrils, advancing our understanding of extreme cardiac adaptation in python ( Python regius ). Twenty-four hours after feeding, python cardiomyocytes showed prolonged Ca 2+ transients, increased maximal tension and Ca 2+ sensitivity of myofibrils as compared to fasted pythons. Post-prandial positive inotropy was accompanied by enhanced metabolic output via increased mitochondrial ATP production rate and by AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) activation and phosphofructokinase-2 reduction, suggesting a key role for fatty acid, but not glucose, metabolism after feeding. In addition, 24h post-fed hearts had significantly reduced tissue stiffness and myofibril passive tension. Finally, chromatin condensation was reduced about 30% after feeding in python cardiomyocytes and confirmed by increased histone acetylation, indicating a predominant role for epigenetics in post-prandial adaptation. These results suggest that feeding promotes positive cardiac inotropy in python via a number of coordinated mechanisms to enhance energy production, increase myofibril and tissue compliance, and increase chromatin accessibility. As heart failure is commonly characterized by depressed contractility, compromised energetics, and increased tissue stiffness, assessing post-prandial adaptation in python hearts provides us with powerful insights that could inform the development of therapeutics for human heart diseases.
