Title: Calcium flux and metabolism in the pigeon heart following doxorubicin treatment: an acute study

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6007162

The present studies were performed to determine in vivo the initial and secondary acute effects of doxorubicin on the influx of calcium into myocardial cells. Studies are also described showing the effect of doxorubicin on a calcium-activated neutral protease from cardiac tissue. These latter studies were performed in an attempt to explain the loss of myofibrilular structures in myocardial cells following doxorubicin treatment.
