title: [Increase of calcium-dependent activity of phospholipase C in the myocardium in adaptation of animals to short-term stress effects].
abstract: The effect of adaptation of rats to repeated short-term stress exposures was studied on the density and the affinity of alpha 1-adrenoceptors in the heart and on the phospholipase C activity and sensitivity to changes in Ca2+ concentration. It was found that adaptation to stress was accompanied by a desensitization of alpha 1-adrenoceptors and also by an increase in Ca(2+)-dependence of phospholipase C activity in the heart. The role of increased activity of phospholipase C and activated inositol triphosphate-diacylglycerol regulatory cascade is discussed as regard to the previously revealed accumulation of heat shock proteins in the myocardium and to the adaptive protection of the heart.
