Imidapril treatment improves the attenuated inotropic and intracellular calcium responses to ATP in heart failure due to myocardial infarction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is known to augment cardiac contractile activity and cause an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in isolated cardiomyocytes. However, no information regarding the ATP-mediated signal transduction in the myocardium in congestive heart failure (CHF) is available. 2. CHF due to myocardial infarction (MI) in rats was induced by the occlusion of the left coronary artery for 8 weeks. The positive inotropy due to ATP was depressed in failing hearts. Treatment of 3 weeks infarcted animals with imidapril (1 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) for a period of 5 weeks improved the left ventricle function and decreased the attenuation of inotropic response to ATP. 3. ATP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was significantly depressed in cardiomyocytes isolated from the failing heart and this change was partially attenuated by imidapril treatment. However, the binding characteristics of (35)S-labeled adenosine 5'-(gamma-thio) triphosphate in sarcolemma isolated from the failing heart remained unaltered. 4. ATP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was depressed by verapamil and cibacron blue in both control and failing heart cardiomyocytes; however, the ATP response in the failing hearts, unlike the control preparations, was not decreased by ryanodine. This insensitivity to ryanodine was attenuated by imidapril treatment. 5. Treatment of infarcted rats with enalapril and losartan produced effects similar to imidapril. 6. These findings indicate that the positive inotropic response to ATP and ATP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in cardiomyocytes are impaired in heart failure. Furthermore, blockade of renin angiotensin system prevented the impairment of the ATP-mediated inotropic and [Ca(2+)](i) responses in the failing heart.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
