Under the condition of rapid perfusion, the time course of contractile response of single ventricular cells to extracellular calcium (Ca) depletion and repletion identifies „fast” and „slow” cellular Ca pools. ⁴⁵Ca exchange was studied in these cells under the same conditions of on-line rapid perfusion. Four kinetically-defined compartments were distinguished: (1) A „rapid” compartment containing 2.6mmoles Ca/kg dry wt of lanthanum (La) displaceable Ca, t½ < 1 sec.; (2) An „intermediate” compartments) containing 2.1 mmoles, t½ = 3 and 19 sec. Caffeine displaced significant amounts of Ca from this compartment whereas La displaced none; (3) A „slow” compartment containing 1.6 mmoles, t½ = 3.6 min. Addition of inorganic phosphate to the perfusate adds significant amounts of Ca to this compartment; (4) An „inexchangeable” compartment, containing 1.2 mmoles. The „rapid” compartment’s flux is > 300 µmoles Ca/kg wet wt/sec. Its exchange rate indicates that it is the kinetic counterpart of the functionally-defined „fast” pool. Its subcellular locus is undefined. The „intermediate” compartment is best correlated with the „slow” pool and represents Ca in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The „slow” compartment contains a significant fraction from the mitochondria. The results indicate that > 40% of cellular Ca can turn over within the period of one contraction cycle. These results are consistent with the following sequence: (1) Upon sarcolemmal depolarization, Ca moves through the Ca channel to arrive at the SR and at the myofilaments. (2) Ca induced Ca release occurs via the „feet” at the SR-inner SL region. The Ca diffuses to the myofilaments or is transported across the SL via the Na-Ca exchanger. (3) Ca is pumped into the free or longitudinal SR and diffuses to the cistemae. Ca is pumped across the SL by the SL Ca pump and by the Na-Ca exchanger. (4) Mitochondrial Ca exchange via the Na-Ca exchanger and/or SL Ca pump. (Supported by NHLBI and the Laubisch and Castera Endowments.)

The effects of extracellular K⁺ in relation to extracellular Ca²⁺ on acid production were studied. Studies were performed in vitro using isolated cells from rat stomachs, and acid production was indirectly determined by ¹⁴C-aminopyrine (AP) accumulation. In the absence of K⁺ in the incubation medium histamine-stimulated AP accumulation ratios were significantly decreased independently in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca²⁺. Under basal conditions, in the absence of extracellular Ca²⁺ , increasing concentrations of extracellular K⁺ enhanced AP accumulation ratios to significantly higher than those found in the presence of Ca²⁺. In histamine-, cAMP-, and carbachol-stimulated parietal cells, high K⁺ concentrations increased AP accumulation significantly less in Ca²⁺-free than in Ca²⁺-containing media. High K⁺ also induced significantly both an increase in cytosolic free Ca²⁺ concentration and ⁴⁵ Ca²⁺ uptake. The present results confirmed the importance of K⁺ in gastric acid production and suggested a role for Ca²⁺ as a modulator of mechanisms of parietal cell stimulation.

The "remodelling" of cardiac sarcolemma in diabetes is believed to underlie the reduced sensitivity of diabetic hearts due to their overload with extracellular calcium. Along with a non-enzymatic glycosylation and the free radical-derived glycoxidation of sarcolemmal proteins there is ongoing reduction in cardiomyocyte membrane fluidity, the modulator of cardiac sarcolemmal functioning. Aminoguanidine derivatives, that inhibit glycation and glycoxidation, might suppress myocardium "remodelling" occurring in diabetic heart. To verify this hypothesis, we studied physical parameters of cardiac sarcolemma from the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (45 mg.kg-1 i.m.) treated with resorcylidene aminoguanidine (RAG, 4 or 8 mg.kg-1 i.m.). The treatment with RAG not only completely abolished protein glycation and a generation of free oxygen species (p<0.001) in treated diabetic animals, but also considerably attenuated the decrease in sarcolemmal membrane fluidity (p<0.001). In diabetic animals the "normalizatio". of the sarcolemmal membrane fluidity was accompanied by the vastly increased susceptibility of diabetic hearts to be overload with external calcium. We concluded that the decreased fluidity of the sarcolemmal membrane, apparently linked to the excessive glycation of sarcolemmal membrane proteins, might be intimately connected with the adaptation mechanism(s) that are likely to develop in diabetic heart to protect it against the overload with external calcium.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is characterized by motor symptoms associated with disturbed functions of the dopaminergic systems, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. A previous study from our laboratories revealed that HE, induced in rats by repeated treatment with thioacetamide, enhanced the 50 mM potassium (KC1) -stimulated release of newly loaded [3H]dopamine in both striatal and frontal cerebral cortical slices in the presence of Ca2+. In the present study we compared the effects of HE on dopamine release in striatal and frontal cerebral cortical slices and synaptosomes in the presence and absence of Ca2+. HE enhanced the KCl-stimulated [3H]dopamine release from striatal and frontal cortical synaptosomes in the presence of Ca2+ to the same extent as in slices prepared from the respective brain regions. In the absence of Ca2+ a slight reduction in dopamine release was observed in frontal cortical synaptosomes from HE rats when compared to control rats, while no effect of HE on the release was discernible in frontal cortical and striatal slices and striatal synaptosomes. We conclude that in both brain regions studied HE stimulates dopamine exocytosis triggered by Ca2+ influx without affecting the release mediated by means of plasma membrane transporters or exocytosis involving intraterminal Ca2+.
