For an adequate evaluation of mitochondria from diseased hearts, basic characteristics of
isolation, storage, media, ultrastructure and type of assay were first determined using …

The aim of this study was to determine whether the impairment of contractility in the
myocardium obtained from hypertrophied and failing hearts is due to a decreased store of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a critical appraisal of information about the
possible involvement of sarcoplasmic reticulum in various muscle diseases such as cardiac …

The electron-microscopic morphology, mitochondrial respiratory rates and respiratory
control ratios, and the histochemical distribution of mitochondrial enzymes were studied in …

The state of congestive heart failure is associated with clear-cut depressions of intrinsic
myocardial function. The production and storage of energy in the failing heart are normal …

Three subcellular membrane systems were isolated from recipient human cardiac tissue
obtained during transplantation.(1) Respiratory control and rates of oxygen consumption …

The left ventricular papillary muscle was studied by electron microscopy in 31 rabbits
subjected to experimental aortic insufficiency and sacrificed at different stages (from 2 days …

Polarographic methods were used to examine oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria
isolated from hearts of rats treated with 5 mg/kg epinephrine, norepinephrine, or …

Methods Production of congestive heart failure in dogs. Two methods that have been widely
used for the production of chronic congestive heart failure in dogs were exam-ined further …

A study was made of oxidative and phosphorylative activities in suspensions of mitochondria
isolated from hypertrophied, non-failing left ventricles of dogs with moderate experimental …
