Application

Strophanthidin was used to synthesize acetylstrophanthidin and the effect on neurotransmitter release from dog saphenous vein was studied.3

Biochem/physiol Actions

Strophanthidin is a cardiotonic steroid that elevates the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase in cardiac myocytes.1 It decreases the potassium content and raises the sodium content in rabbit renal cortex slices.2

Disinhibition-induced bursting activity in cultures of fetal rat spinal cord is mainly controlled by intrinsic spiking with subsequent recurrent excitation of the network through glutamate synaptic transmission, and by autoregulation of neuronal excitability. Here we investigated the contribution of the

Pump activity is a homeostatic mechanism that maintains ionic gradients. Here we examined whether the slow reduction in excitability induced by sodium-pump activity that has been seen in many neuronal types is also involved in neuronal coding. We took intracellular

Recent work has suggested that Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) and L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) are located predominantly in the t-tubules of cardiac ventricular myocytes, which therefore represent a microdomain for the regulation of intracellular Na(+) (Na(i)) and Ca(2+) (Ca(i)). The aim

Previous studies demonstrated that the purified endogenous inhibitor (NCX(IF)) of the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) has the capacity to modulate cardiac muscle contractility. Here, we tested the effects of purified NCX(IF) on arrhythmias induced by ouabain in the atria and

Recent clinical electrophysiology studies and successful results of radiofrequency catheter ablation therapy suggest that high-frequency focal activity in the pulmonary veins (PVs) plays important roles in the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation, but the mechanisms underlying the focal arrhythmogenic
