Abstract
In this in vitro study using a purified sarcolemmic fraction of guinea pig myocardium, the 13(S)-hydroperoxide of linoleic acid (13-HPODE) increased in a dose-dependent manner the permeability of myocardial sarcolemma to Ca ions in concentrations above 10 μmol/liter, stimulated Na/Ca exchange there in concentrations from 0.1 to 10 μmol/liter, and exerted a digitalis-like action on sarcolemmic Na,K-ATPase in concentrations between 0.1 and 100 μmol/liter (IC50=20 μmol/liter). The results indicate that the linoleic acid hydroperoxide may be an effective modulator of sarcolemmic Ca2+ transport and of membrane-bound enzymes.
