Key result
Isoproterenol increased mitochondrial ROS production, Ca2+ transient amplitude, contraction, and L-type Ca2+ current densities in mouse cardiomyocytes, which were diminished by antioxidants.
Why the study?
Does mitochondrial ROS production contribute to the inotropic mechanism of β-adrenergic stimulation in mouse cardiomyocytes?
Does mitochondrial ROS production contribute to the inotropic mechanism of β-adrenergic stimulation in mouse cardiomyocytes?
Mitochondrial ROS production is an integral component of the acute inotropic response to β-adrenergic stimulation in cardiomyocytes.

Hypothesis-generating for antioxidant modulation of beta-adrenergic responses; requires in vivo validation before clinical consideration.
Andersson et al. (2011) studied this question. Isoproterenol (ISO) vs. Control was evaluated on Mitochondrial ROS production, Ca2+ transient amplitude, contraction, and L-type Ca2+ current densities. Isoproterenol increased mitochondrial ROS production, Ca2+ transient amplitude, contraction, and L-type Ca2+ current densities in mouse cardiomyocytes, which were diminished by antioxidants.
