| Abstract | The contractile proteins in mammalian cardiac muscle are regulated by a cAMP-dependent reaction that alters the activity of the actomyosin ATPase. The ATPase activity of cardiac actomyosin has also been shown to depend on factors released by small arteries in the myocardial tissue. Endothelial cells have been implicated in the regulation of the contractile force developed by isolated cardiac tissue. To determine whether endothelial cells are required for the cAMP-dependent regulation of the contractile proteins, the effect of cAMP on the actomyosin ATPase activity was measured in cryostatic sections of isolated, quickly frozen rat ventricular trabeculae. In half of the trabeculae, the endocardial endothelial cells had been damaged by a 1-sec exposure to 0.5% Triton X-100. In trabeculae with intact endothelial cells, cAMP increased actomyosin ATPase activity toward an apparently maximum value. In trabeculae with damaged endothelial cells, cAMP did not change actomyosin ATPase activity. The coronary venous effluent from an isolated heart has already been shown to modify the maximum isometric force developed by an isolated trabecula. The extent to which the force of the isolated trabecula is changed by the coronary venous effluent is closely related to the degree to which cAMP has up-regulated the actomyosin ATPase activity in the isolated heart donating the coronary effluent: the greater the degree of up-regulation of ATPase activity, the greater the increase in force produced by the effluent. These results indicate that endothelial cells are required for the cAMP-dependent regulation of cardiac contractile proteins to function, and these results further suggest that the myocardium autoregulates by modulating the cAMP regulation of contractile proteins with endothelial-derived factors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
