Effect of aging on right ventricular anoxic resistance
Recent Advances in Studies on Cardiac Structure and Metabolism
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
Total serum thyroxine levels, saturation of endogenous thyroxine-binding proteins, and free thyroxine indices were all reduced in the rat by aging. In vitro myocardial anoxic resistance was increased as a result of the aging process. The role of myocardial glycogen as a myocardial protective agent during hypoxic stress and its variations during aging, altitude-acclimation, and exericise conditioning are discussed.
