Abstract excerpt
The R145G amino acid exchange in the inhibitory subunit (cTnI) of cardiac troponin, which regulates muscle contraction, is related to familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Information on its impact on contractility of adult cardiomyocytes is scarce. We studied shortening of adult rat cardiomyocytes before and during ss-adrenergic stimulation using adenovirus-driven expression of human cTnI-wild type (wt) and...
