Resumen:
The soluble AC (sAC) was identified in the heart as another source of cyclic AMP (cAMP). However, its cardiac physiological function is unknown. On the other hand, the cardiac Na+/HCO3- cotransporter (NBC) promotes the cellular co-influx of HCO3- and Na+. Since sAC activity is regulated by HCO3-, our purpose was to investigate the potential relationship between NBC and sAC. Rat ventricular myocytes were loaded with Fura-2 or Fluo-3 in order to measure Ca2+ transient amplitude (CaT) by epifluorescence or Ca2+ sparks frequency (CaSF) by confocal microscopy, respectively. Sarcomere shortening was measured simultaneously with epifluorescence. All the experiments were performed in a solution with bicarbonate. * indicates p
