Fig. 6From: Cardiorespiratory alterations in rodents experimentally envenomed with Hadruroides lunatus scorpion venomCardiomyocytes exposed to Hlsv display reduced Ca2+ transient amplitude. a (Top) Representative confocal images of electrically stimulated intracellular Ca2+ transient recordings in ventricular myocytes. (Bottom) Ca2+ transient line-scan profile. b Significant reduction in peak Ca2+ transient amplitude was observed in freshly isolated adult ventricular myocytes incubated with 0.05 μg/mL of Hlsv venom for 5 to 20 min. Numbers inside the bars (34 in the control group and 32 in the in the treated group) represent the number of cells analyzed. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, * p < 0.0001 compared to controlBack to article page
