| Research Abstract |
(1) Isozymic changes in myosin of rabbit ventricular myocardium induced by the sympathetic nerve.
Cardiac myosin has two isozymes alpha and beta. alpha-myosin has high ATPase activity and its contraction is rapid but the energy efficiency is poor. On the other hand, beta-myosin has low ATPase activity, and its contraction is slow but the energy efficiency is good. After complete denervation of the sympathetic nerves, alpha myosin disappeared and was replaced by beta myosin in the cardiac ventricle. By beta sympathetic nervous receptor stimulated with isoproterenal, alpha myosin decreased and beta myosin increased.
(2) Isozymic changes in myosin of the ventricular myocardium in patients with congestive heart failure.
There was a good correlation between the ratio of alpha myosin and the dosage of catecholamine administered in the last stage. In the heart of human beings, also, alpha myosin was increased by catecholamine.
