| Abstract | Regulatory mechanisms of voltage-dependent L-type Ca$^{2+}$ channels involving the cyclic nucleotide system of mammalian cardiomyocytes have been studied. Activation of cGMP-dependent phosphorylation in the presence of 1 mM arginine in all experimental media resulted in inhibition of amplitudes of basal L-type Ca$^{2+}$ currents in rat ventricular myocytes. Effects of compounds regulating the activity of different compoments of the NO-cGMP cascade on L-type Ca$^{2+}$ currents were investigated. It was found that endogenous (arginine, 5 mM) and exogenous (sodium nitroprusside, 1 mM) NO sources decreased the Ca$^{2+}$ current amplitude by 30 ± 10%. The nonspecific NO synthase blocker 7NI (2 μM) abolished the effect of arginine, while the soluble guanylyl cyclase blocker ODQ (50 μM) eliminated the effects of both arginine and sodium nitroprusside. The fact that inhibitory effects of arginine, sodium nitroprusside and 8Br-cGMP disappeared in the presence of the protein kinase G blocker KT5823 (0.5, 1 μM) provides direct evidence in favor of activating effect of these compounds on PKG-dependent phosphorylation. Inhibition of L-type Ca$^{2+}$ currents can also be due to activation of phosphodiesterase II. However, the selective phosphodiesterase II blocker EHNA (30 μM) failed to abolish inhibitory effects of arginine and sodium nitroprusside on Ca$^{2+}$ currents. Isoproterenol (0.1 μM)-activated L-type Ca$^{2+}$ currents were only partly blocked by acetylcholine (0.1 mM). Contrary to basal currents, the NO-cGMP cascade agonists arginine and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), like 8Br-cGMP, had no effect on isoproterenol-induced currents. Full inhibition of isoproterenol-induced currents was achieved through combination of acetylcholine with NO-cGMP cascade agonists. |

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.
