Developmental Changes in Excitation–Contraction Mechanisms of the Mouse Ventricular Myocardium as Revealed by Functional and Confocal Imaging Analyses
Developmental changes in excitation–contraction mechanisms were examined in the ventricular myocardium from fetal, neonatal, and 1-, 2-, and 4-week-old mice. In isolated tissue, the negative inotropic effect of nifedipine decreased, while that of ryanodine increased with age. Action potential durati...
