Why the study?
The acute effects of phenanthrene and 3-methylphenanthrene on fish ventricular cardiomyocyte contractility remain poorly characterised.
Phenanthrene and 3-methylphenanthrene are evaluated for their acute effects on the cellular contractility and calcium dynamics of fish ventricular cardiomyocytes.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are dominant constituents of the water-soluble fraction of crude oil and are known to disrupt fish cardiac function, yet their consequences for cellular contractility remain poorly characterised. We investigated the acute effects of phenanthrene (P) and 3-methylphenanthrene (3-MP) at 1-10 μM on single rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) ventricular cardiomyocytes, measuring sarcomere length dynamics, cytosolic Ca

Myachina et al. (2026) studied this question. Phenanthrene (P) and 3-methylphenanthrene (3-MP) was evaluated on Sarcomere length dynamics and cytosolic Ca. The acute effects of phenanthrene and 3-methylphenanthrene on single rainbow trout ventricular cardiomyocytes were investigated, though specific results were not reported in the available abstract.
