Cardiac Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Transport Activity of Thyroidectomized Rats: The Role of Endogenous Myocardial Acylcarnitines and Calcium Pump Protein
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effect of hypothyroidism on isolated rat cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium transport activity was determined. Cardiac SR was studied 2, 4 and 6 weeks following surgical removal of the thyroid gland. Thyroidectomized rats had reduced body weight and left ventricular weight 4 and 6 weeks after thyroidectomy. The rate of SR calcium transport activity was not affected 2 weeks after thyroidectomy, but was reduced 4 and 6 weeks after thyroidectomy. To elucidate the mechanism responsible for altered calcium transport activity, the roles of endogenous SR acylcarnitine and SR calcium pump protein were determined. Thyroidectomy did not affect the level of endogenous acylcarnitine associated with the SR membranes isolated at the time points studied. The level of acylphosphoprotein, putatively the SR calcium pump protein, was not affected 2 weeks following thyroidectomy, but was significantly reduced in SR 4 weeks postthyroidectomy. These studies suggest that the quantity of SR calcium pump sites is reduced in hypothyroidism and that this reduction may explain the altered SR calcium transport activity observed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
