...Cornelia E. Fanter; Kenneth S. Campbell; Daniel E. Warren ABSTRACT We aimed to determine how increases in intracellular H + and inorganic phosphate (P i ) to levels observed during anoxic submergence affect contractility in ventricular muscle of the anoxia-tolerant Western painted turtle, Chrysemys...

...Tracy A. Becker; Brian DellaValle; Hans Gesser; Kenneth J. Rodnick SUMMARY We examined whether exogenous glucose affects contractile performance of electrically paced ventricle strips from rainbow trout under conditions known to alter cardiomyocyte performance, ion regulation and energy demands...

... approximately 20% of end diastolic volumes in both species. Peak systolic pressures and stroke work were correlated with the index of contractility (d P /d t max ) in both species. Stroke volume was correlated to stroke work but not peak systolic pressure, end diastolic volume or end diastolic pressure...
