A compartmentalized mathematical model of the β1-adrenergic signaling system in mouse ventricular myocytes.

The β1-adrenergic signaling system plays an important role in the functioning of cardiac cells. Experimental data shows that the activation of this system produces inotropy, lusitropy, and chronotropy in the heart, such as increased magnitude and relaxation rates of [Ca(2+)]i transients and contract...
