title: [Cardiodepressive effect of platelet activating factor].
abstract: The cardiodepressive effect of PAF has been studied on the electrical and mechanical activities of isolated auricles of guinea pig. Intracellular resting potential, action potential (AP) and isometric contractions elicited by electrical stimulation (0.5 Hz) were measured. PAF (10(-7) M) induced negative inotropic effect, which reached its peak after 5 min with 23.5 +/- 6.6% in respect to prechallenge values (n = 8). After 20 min negative inotropic effect relaxed to 39.6 +/- 8.8%. 1 min after the beginning of washing in Tyrode solution, positive inotropic effect of PAF was evident, that reached its peak (217 +/- 49.5%) after 2 min, decayed after 5-10 min to normal values. PAF did not modify the resting membrane potential, produced a decrease in the amplitude and Vmax of the upstroke AP, shortened the AP duration. Ca-AP and contractions, elicited in partially depolarized myocardium were decreased by PAF (10(-7) M). PAF-produce the change of the AP and the negative effect on auricle contractile force was inhibited in muscles pretreated with 3mM 4 aminopyridine. Histamine (10(-4) M) was also capable of neutralizing the depressant effect of PAF. The obtained results suggested that PAF effects on the membrane of cardiac cells could be related to a change in Ca and K conductance.
