Anaerobic performance and metabolism of the hyperthyroid heart

Abstract

Anaerobically periused hearts from rats with experimentally induced hyperthyroidism exhibited accelerated deterioration of pacemaker activity and ventricular performance. The diminished anaerobic performance of hyperthyroid hearts was associated with decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and a reduced rate of anaerobic glycolysis as reflected in decreased lactic acid production during 30 min of anoxic perfusion.
