Effect of hydrogen peroxide on the membrane currents of sinoatrial node cells from rabbit heart
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effects of H(2)O(2) on pacemaker activity and underlying membrane currents were studied in isolated rabbit sinoatrial (SA) node cells using perforated patch current- and voltage-clamp methods. Short-term exposure (<10 min) of the nodal cells to H(2)O(2) (200 microM) resulted in an initial shortening of spontaneous action potential cycle length (from 445 +/- 60 to 398 +/- 56 ms; P < 0.05) and a prolongation of action potential duration. H(2)O(2) (100 microM) significantly increased peak L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)) from -384 +/- 77 to -439 +/- 84 pA (116 +/- 2%, n = 6). Additionally, the persistent or non-inactivating component of I(Ca,L) was increased from -52 +/- 3 to -88 +/- 14 pA (174 +/- 19%, n = 6). The hyperpolarization-activated current (I(f)) was decreased from -228 +/- 62 to -161 +/- 72 pA after exposure to H(2)O(2) (n = 7). There were no changes in the delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(K)) (n = 7). H(2)O(2)-induced Ca(2+) currents were blocked by 2 microM nicardipine (n = 6), 2 mM Ni(2+) (n = 2), and the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide (10(-7) M; n = 4) but not by 20 microM tetrodotoxin. These results suggest that H(2)O(2) can increase the spontaneous pacing rate in rabbit SA node cells by enhancing I(Ca,L) and that this effect is mediated by a PKC-dependent pathway.

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.
