Direct measurements of the cortex stiffness and contractility as a function of position and time during cytokinesis in wild type and mutant cells will be essential to identify the contribution of myosin-II to the mechanics of cell shape changes.
Norepinephrine infusion resulted in a dramatic enhancement of contractility (43.
First, we hypothesized that in iron deficient rats, intravenous norepinephrine would cause an altered cardiovascular response, either in heart rate or rate of arterial pressure generation (contractility, dp•dt -1).
Figure 3also shows heart rate and contractility immediately prior to, and at peak response to, intravenous norepinephrine infusions.
Iron deficient cardiac hypertrophy is not unique in this regard, as Lin has recently documented enhanced contractility without increased heart rate in hyper-sympathetic transgenic mice [ 34 ] . In contrast, there is a large body of evidence which suggests that cardiac hypertrophy which has progressed to the point of pathology, ultimately results in a decrease in contractility [ 25 26 27 29 30 32 33 44 45 ] . We have not yet investigated whether the iron deficient heart will similarly lose the augmented contractility response in time.
