title: [Prevention of stress-related disorders in the contractile function of non-ischemic areas of the heart during myocardial infarction using gamma-hydroxybutyric acid].
abstract: Contractile function of an isolated right auricle of the rat was studied one day after producing an experimental infarction of the left ventricle. It was disclosed that in this non-ischemized heart area there developed marked decrease in myocardial extensibility and depression of contractile function manifesting in an approximately two-fold lowering of the developing tension. These stress-induced disturbances prevented by administering GABA prior to myocardial infarction production. It is assumed that the action of GABA is accounted for by its capability to protect non-ischemized areas of the myocardium against harmful stress action.
