There are many reports about the anti-arrhythmic effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, however, the mechanisms are still not completely delineated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of action potentials and transient outward potassium currents (Ito) of Sprague-Dawley rat ventricular myocytes and the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on action potentials and Ito.
The calcium-tolerant rat ventricular myocytes were isolated by enzyme digestion. Action potentials and Ito of epicardial, mid-cardial and endocardial ventricular myocytes were recorded by whole-cell patch clamp technique.
The anti-arrhythmia mechanisms of DHA are complex, however, the effects of DHA on action potentials and Ito may be one of the important causes.
有许多关于ω-3 多不饱和脂肪酸抗心律失常作用的报道,但机制尚不完全明确。本研究旨在探讨多不饱和脂肪酸对 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠心室肌细胞动作电位和瞬间外向钾电流(Ito)的作用特征。
采用酶消化法分离钙耐受大鼠心室肌细胞。采用全细胞膜片钳技术记录心外膜、心肌中层和心内膜心室肌细胞的动作电位和 Ito。
DHA 的抗心律失常机制复杂,但 DHA 对动作电位和 Ito 的影响可能是重要原因之一。
