Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the importance of the phosphorylation of Ser16 and Thr17 sites of phospholamban (PLN) on intracellular Ca2+ (Cai2+) handling and contractile recovery of the stunned myocardium. METHODS: Cai2+ (Rhod-2, pulsed local-field fluorescence microscopy) and contractility (isovolumic left ventricular developed pressure, LVDP) were simultaneously measured in Langendorff perfused hearts from...
