Zusammenfassung: | The signal transduction mechanism linking mitochondrial ATP synthesis with cytosolic ATP utilization in heart changes during postnatal development in vivo. This maturational process occurs in parallel with accumulation of mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), which provides a possible site for respiratory control. We postulated that thyroid hormone regulates these maturational processes.
We used (31)P MR spectroscopy to determine the relationship between myocardial high-energy phosphates, phosphocreatine, and ADP and oxygen consumption (MVO(2)) during epinephrine stimulation in 32- to 40-day-old lambs thyroidectomized after birth (THY) and age-matched controls. Steady-state protein and mRNA levels for ANT isoforms and beta-F(1)-ATPase were assessed from left ventricular tissues by Western and Northern blotting. With greater doses of epinephrine, THY attained lower peak MVO(2) than controls (P: |
