Jr. Southon et al., CA-41 AS A TRACER FOR CALCIUM-UPTAKE AND DEPOSITION IN HEART-TISSUE DURING ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 92(1-4), 1994, pp. 489-491
We have developed techniques and are commencing experiments using enri
ched Ca-41 as a tracer in isolated rabbit heart preparations. The aims
of the study are to measure calcium uptake and deposition in response
to cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, and to investigate events and me
chanisms leading to irreversible myocyte injury.
