title: [Mechanical characteristics of isotonic work and high-energy phosphates in frog ventricle after 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene].
abstract: The blocking of the creatinphosphokinase by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) allows to investigate the relationship between ATP-supply, contractility and relaxability of the frog's myocardium. In isotonically working isolated ventricles of frogs the time of work, systolic and diastolic volume, velocity of contraction and relaxation as well as the levels of CP, ATP, ADP and AMP were measured at different intervals until termination of each experiment. CP shows a small variation, ATP decreases to 60% and ADP + AMP increase for the same amount under FDNB during the development of a slight inhibition of contractility and a continuously growing inhibition and retardation of relaxation until systolic arrest. ATP content and volume of relaxation correlated strictly. The contracture and the diminished contractility are caused by the decrease of ATP, producing a lack of substrate for Ca transport and actin-myosin-ATPase. This models the course of events during an insufficiency like in angina pectoris and in myocardial infarction.
