The effect of catecholamines over a wide range of concentrations was studied on 42K uptake and efflux, as well as on spontaneous rate in canine cardiac Purkinje fibers. Low levels of catecholamines (less than 10(-10) M epinephrine; less than 10(-9) M norepinephrine) decreased automaticity. This negative chronotropic effect was blocked by phentolamine and mimicked by phenylephrine. These low levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine also inhibited 42K uptake by Purkinje fibers but had no effect on 42K efflux. The inhibition of 42K uptake was blocked by phentolamine and verapamil and mimicked by phenylephrine. The data indicate an alpha-receptor-mediated negative response of rate and 42K uptake to low levels of catecholamine. The end result is discussed in terms of a competitive increase in the influx of Ca2+ rather than Na+ and an indirect inhibition of the Na+-K+ pump.

The aim: Find out the nature of the changes sensitivity of the heart to the cholinergic influences the development of diabetes depending on gender. Materials and methods: In experiments on adult male and female rats, type 1 diabetes by momentary introduction of streptozotocin at a dose of 60 mg/ kg into the peritoneal cavity was modeled. Animals were examined after 15, 30, 60 and 90 days after introduction of streptozotocin. We studied the sensitivity of cholinoreceptors of sinus node by the intensity of bradycardia with intravenous injection of acetylcholine and electrical stimulation of the peripheral segment of the right vagus nerve. Results: It was established that the intensity of the negative chronotropic effect of heart of males by electric stimulation of the vagus nerve, which depends on the reserves of acetylcholine in the presynaptic section and sensitivity of postsynaptic cholinoreceptors, increased gradually and after 90 days prevailed the output value in 2.2 times. This occurred at the background of a slight (10 %) decrease in response to exogenous acetylcholine that reflected the decrease in sensitivity of cholinoreceptors. In females the maximum increase (in 4.4 times) of the intensity of the negative chronotropic effect of vagus nerve stimulation was observed after 30 days from the start of the experiment. After 90 days, this indicator prevailed the controlled one in 3.3 times, which occurred at the background of heart response decreasing to exogenous acetylcholine (in 1.7 times). Conclusions: Obtained results suggest a more significant change in state of cholinoceptor system of myocardium of females compared with males in the dynamics of development of streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

Angiotensin was shown to have no significant direct chronotropic action when perfused into the canine sinus node through its artery in situ. A slight cardiac acceleration which occurs during the systemic effect (aortic hyper-tension) from angiotensin is not due to sensitization of the sinus node to norepinephrine. Since it can be reversed and blocked with naphthylisoproterenol, this sinus tachycardia is presumably mediated by catecholamines delivered to the heart from an extracardiac source. Slowing of the sinus node during hypertension from angiotensin in the nonatropinized dog is due to a vagal reflex and is not caused by a direct negative chronotropic effect on the sinus node.

The negative chronotropic effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on the sinoatrial node fades in the continuous presence of ACh as a result of desensitization. We have investigated the mechanism underlying desensitization in single rabbit sinoatrial node cells using the whole cell patch clamp technique. The negative chronotropic effect resulting from the injection of a constant hyperpolarizing current faded. ACh activated an inwardly rectifying potassium current (iK,ACh), which faded in the continuous presence of ACh. ACh had no effect on “basal” L-type calcium current (iCa), but ACh decreased iCa, which had been potentiated by isoprenaline. This effect did not fade during a 2-min exposure to ACh. ACh decreased the hyperpolarization-activated current (i(f)). This effect again did not fade. These results suggest that desensitization of the negative chronotropic response to ACh is, in part, the result of the membrane hyperpolarization and, in part, the result of the fade of iK,ACh. These results also suggest that, whereas the activation of potassium current by ACh rapidly fades, the effects resulting from the inhibition of adenylate cyclase do not.
