In a rabbit model, the sliding velocity of cardiac myosin is significantly increased in hyperthyroidism and correlates strongly with myosin ATPase activity and alpha-myosin heavy chain content.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate clinical implications; extends mechanistic links between myosin kinetics and hyperthyroidism in animal models.
Yamashita et al. (1992) studied this question.
