Effect of changes in temperature on the force–frequency relationship in the heart of catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
An isometric ventricular preparation was used to investigate the effect of changes in temperature (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C) on the cardiac contractility produced by increasing of frequency in the catfish heart. The ability of the ventricular preparation to develop the cardiac force at 10 °C continued regularly until a frequency of 1.0 Hz, whereas at 15, 20, ... إقراء المزيد
