Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Mitochondrial Ca2+ overload promotes production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) thereby contributing to pro-arrhythmic disturbances in intracellular Ca2+ cycling in myocytes from ZSF1 rat hearts with diastolic dysfunction. • Pharmacological enhancement of mitochondrial small conductance Ca2+ activated K+ (SK) channels reverses mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, reducing mito-ROS and stabilizing intracellular Ca2+ cycling. • Activation of mito-SK channels reduces pathological Ca2+ accumulation in mitochondria of ZSF1 rat myocytes by promoting opening of low-conductance permeability transition pore openings, without deleterious effects on mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production.
