Potassium fluxes, energy metabolism, and oxygenation in intact diabetic rat hearts under normal and stress conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We evaluated the function of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase and sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels in diabetic rat hearts. Six weeks after streptozotocin (STZ) injection, unidirectional K(+) fluxes were assayed by using (87)rubidium ((87)Rb(+)) MRS. The hearts were loaded with Rb(+) by perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit buffer, in which 50% of K(+) was substituted with Rb(+). The rate constant of Rb(+) uptake via Na(+)/K(+) ATPase was reduced. K(ATP)-mediated Rb(+) efflux was activated metabolically with 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP, 50 micromol.L(-1)) or pharmacologically with a K(ATP) channel opener, P-1075 (5 micromol.L(-1)). Cardiac energetics were monitored by using (31)P MRS and optical spectroscopy. DNP produced a smaller ATP decrease, yet similar Rb(+) efflux activation in STZ hearts. In K(+)-arrested hearts, P-1075 had no effect on high-energy phosphates and stimulated Rb(+) efflux by interaction with SUR2A subunit of K(ATP) channel; this stimulation was greater in STZ hearts. In normokalemic hearts, P-1075 caused cardiac arrest and ATP decline, and the stimulation of Rb(+) efflux was lower in normokalemic STZ hearts arrested by P-1075. Thus, the Rb(+)efflux stimulation in STZ hearts was altered depending on the mode of K(ATP) channel activation: pharmacologic stimulation (P-1075) was enhanced, whereas metabolic stimulation (DNP) was reduced. Both the basal concentration of phosphocreatine ([PCr]) and [PCr]/[ATP] were reduced; nevertheless, the STZ hearts were more or equally resistant to metabolic stress.

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.
