Abstract

Discrete mechanical stretch of isolated spontaneously contracting cardiac myocytes was employed to examine the kinetics of NO production in these cells. NO oscillations were detected with fluorescent dye 4-amino-5-methylamino-2’,7’-difluorofluorescein diacetate. The mechanisms underlying stretch-induced changes in NO concentration remain unclear and further studies are needed to evaluate the role of NO oscillation in the regulation of cardiomyocyte function.
