Abstract
Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is commonly used as a general anesthetic in cephalopods, but its physiological effects including those at cardiac level are not well-characterized. We used an in vitro isolated perfused systemic heart preparation from the common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, to investigate: (a) if in vivo exposure to MgCl2 formulations had an effect on cardiac function in vitro and, if so, could this impact recovery and (b) direct effects of MgCl2 formulations on cardiac function. In vitro hearts removed from animals exposed in vivo to 3.5% MgCl2 in sea water (20 min) or to a mixture of MgCl2+ ethanol (1.12/1%; 20 min) showed cardiac function (heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output) comparable to hearts removed from animals killed under hypothermia. However, 3.5% MgCl2 (1:1, sea water: distilled water, 20 min) produced a significant impairment of the Frank-Starling response as did 45 min exposure to the MgCl2+ ethanol mixture. Perfusion of the isolated heart with MgCl2± ethanol formulations produced a concentration-related bradycardia (and arrest), a decreased stroke volume and cardiac output indicating a direct effect on the heart. The cardiac effects of MgCl2 are discussed in relation to the involvement of magnesium, sodium, chloride, and calcium ions, exposure time and osmolality of the formulations and the implications for the use of various formulations of MgCl2 as anesthetics in octopus. Overall, provided that the in vivo exposure to 3.5% MgCl2 in sea water or to a mixture of MgCl2+ ethanol is limited to ~20 min, residual effects on cardiac function are unlikely to impact post-anesthetic recovery.

Abstract
In pharmacological bioassays on isolated isotonically suspended auricles of Sepia officinalis, the regulatory action of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) on these autonomous contractile compartments was demonstrated. 5-HT induced concentration-dependent positive effects on frequency and tone, whereas the concentrations/response curve for the amplitude showed a biphasic course. All applied antagonists inhibited mainly the effect of 5-HT on frequency and amplitude. The chronotropic effects of 5-HT were blocked mainly by the 5-HT(1,2) antagonist methiothepin (pA(2)=8.01), the 5-HT(1a) antagonist NAN-190 (pA(2)-) and in lesser extent by the 5-HT(1,2) antagonist mianserin (pA(2)=6.81). In the presence of each antagonist applied the 5-HT action on amplitude was transformed into a positive inotropic effect with the maximum under influence of NAN-190 and the 5-HT(2,1c)-antagonist ketanserin. The auricular tone was also influenced by the antagonists and in combination with methiothepin it turned into strong negative tonotropic effect. In addition to the pharmacological bioassays, the presence of 5-HT in nerve endings within the auricle wall was demonstrated by immunohistochemical and fluorescence microscopic findings. Altogether the findings presented here confirm that 5-HT evokes excitatory effects on the autonomous contractile auricle of S. officinalis and acts obviously over different receptors, whereby a 5-HT(1)- and a 5-HT(2)-like seem to be involved.

Abstract
The actions of the neuropeptide FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2) on the L-type (ICa,L) and T-type (ICa,T) calcium currents were investigated in muscle cells dissociated from the heart of squid, Loligo forbseii. The heart muscle cells could be divided into type I and type II cells, on the basis of morphological differences in the dissociated myocytes. FMRFamide induced a substantial block of the L-type calcium current seen in type I cells; this inhibition was rapid, reversible and dose dependent (IC50 = 0.1 microM). FMRFamide induced an increase in the amplitude of the L-type calcium current in the type II heart muscle cells, but had no effect on the T-type calcium current in either type of dissociated heart muscle cell, even at concentrations much higher than those found to affect the L-type calcium current. Internal dialysis of isolated type I heart muscle cells with guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate (GTPgammaS, 100 microM), a non-hydrolysable GTP analogue, mimicked the FMRFamide inhibition of the Ca2+ current and occluded any further FMRFamide-induced inhibition. Internal dialysis of these cells with guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDPbetaS, 100 microM) reduced the FMRFamide-induced inhibition of the peak Ca2+ current. The inhibitory effects of FMRFamide were abolished by pre-incubation of the cells with pertussis toxin (200 ng ml-1). The activation kinetics of ICa,L were not affected by FMRFamide application, nor by internal perfusion with GTPgammaS, and the FMRFamide-induced reduction in ICa,L was not relieved by large depolarising prepulses. These data indicate that FMRFamide can modulate ICa,L, but not ICa,T, in squid heart muscle cells, and that the underlying G protein pathway is dissimilar to that commonly associated with transmitter modulation of channel activity. The FMRFamide-modulated increase in ICa,L seen in the type II heart muscle cells was not mediated by a PTX-sensitive G protein pathway.

Abstract
In vitro experiments were performed on a standardized preparation of the autonomously contractile bulbus cordis branchialis of the branchial heart of Sepia officinalis to investigate its cholinergic neuroregulation. Apart from acetylcholine, nicotine and carbachol (nicotinic agonists), the muscarinic agonists muscarine, arecoline, pilocarpine, and oxotremorine also exerted concentration-dependent negative inotropic effects on the preparations. As both the muscarinic antagonist quinuclidinylbenzilate and the nicotinic antagonist alpha-bungarotoxin blocked the ACh action there might be a special, possibly mixed muscarinic/nicotinic ACh-receptor system in the myocytes of the bulbus cordis branchialis, which is different from the cholinergic receptor in the central part of the branchial heart.

Abstract
Pharmacological examinations of isolated auricles from Sepia officinalis were carried out to analyze the putative role of the monoaminergic transmitter/receptor system in the control of auricle function. In conjunction with histofluorescence studies and HPLC analyses, evidence of a double excitatory serotonergic and noradrenergic innervation of the auricles was obtained. Serotonin-induced positive chronotropic and inotropic effects were blocked by mianserin (5-HT1 and 5-HT2) but not by cyproheptadine (5-HT2). It is assumed that the auricular serotonin (5-HT) receptor represents a 5-HT1-like subtype and is not identical to the ventricular 5-HT receptor. Noradrenaline, adrenaline and dopamine evoked mainly positive chronotropic reactions and less prominent positive inotropic reactions. The potency range (pD2 frequency: noradrenaline 6.65 >> adrenaline 5.69 > dopamine 5.34; pD2 amplitude: noradrenaline 6.09 (greater than or equal to) adrenaline 5.91 > dopamine 5.33) indicates out that noradrenaline might be the effective neurotransmitter in vivo. The α -mimetics clonidine (α 2) and phenylephrine (α 1) induced positive chronotropic and inotropic effects, while the β-mimetics albuterol (β2>β1) and dobutamine (β1) revealed only positive inotropic reactions. The β-agonist isoprenaline mimicked the positive chronotropic effects of noradrenaline and induced the strongest positive inotropic effects of all the agonists tested. Urapidil (α 1) or phentolamine (α 1 and α 2) blocked only the positive chronotropic effects of noradrenaline and isoprenaline. The positive inotropic effects of isoprenaline could be blocked by the adenylate cyclase inhibitors MDL-12,330A or SQ-22, 536, which had no effect on the chronotropic effects of isoprenaline. These results suggest that two catecholaminergic receptors are present in the auricles of Sepia officinalis: an α -like adrenoreceptor mediating mainly chronotropic effects, and a β-like receptor which appears to mediate inotropic effects by activating the cyclic AMP pathway. These results suggest that the auricles exert a regulatory effect on ventricular performance.

Abstract
Cholinergic mechanisms controlling the branchial heart of the cephalopod Sepia officinalis L. were examined. In vitro tests indicate that acetylcholine (ACh) exerts a dose-dependent negative inotropic and chronotropic effect. Although the nicotinic agonists carbachol and nicotine mimic the effects of ACh closely, the muscarinic agonists pilocarpine, muscarine and oxotremorine induce only a slight inhibition of amplitude and frequency. Other agents tested (including atropine, pirencepine, hexamethonium, tetraethylammonium (TEA), d-tubocurarine and alpha-bungarotoxin) confirm that the acetylcholine receptor in branchial heart muscle is probably nicotinic.

Abstract
1. Isolated cannulated ventricles commenced spontaneous beating on application of perfusion pressure of 10 cm water. Complete hearts showed a fast patterned cyclical rhythm, whereas ventricles devoid of atrial material showed a continuous slow rhythm. 2. Perfused ventricles were inhibited by ACh with a threshold at 10(-8) mol l-1 and arrested at 10(-7) mol l-1, and ventricles under stimulation by 5HT could be arrested by ACh at this concentration. 3. Perfused ventricles were stimulated by 5HT, with threshold at 10(-9) mol l-1 and maximum at 10(-5) mol l-1. Metoclopramide was without affect on 5HT responses, but metitipine and methysergide did inhibit such responses suggesting that the 5HT receptor present possessed mixed properties of the vertebrate 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptor subtypes. 4. Ventricles were very sensitive to the excitatory actions of FMRFamide in the 10(-9) to 10(-5) mol l-1 range. Preparations were insensitive to GAPFLRFamide, but SCP-B was modestly excitatory (threshold 10(-7) mol l-1). 5. Preparations were not significantly affected by adenosine, ATP, and guanosine, but GTP was strongly excitatory at 10(-7) mol l-1. 6. 5HT and FMRFamide responses were additive. Preparations responded strongly to the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin and dibutyryl cAMP enhanced spontaneous contractions and 5HT responses, suggesting that the 5HT receptor may operate via a cAMP secondary mechanism. 7. The IP3 inhibitor lithium (10 mmol l-1), caused slight inhibition of FMRFamide responses, suggesting that the receptor to this peptide may operate via IP3 as a second messenger. 8. Neuromodulation in this preparation would appear to involve ACh as inhibitor, 5HT and FMRFamide as upregulators, with no clear roles for FMRFamide-related peptides and GTP.

Abstract
The chronotropic and inotropic effects of four atrial peptides (cardiodilatin 1-16, atrial natriuretic factor 8-33 and atriopeptin I and III) on the isolated systemic heart of Octopus vulgaris were studied. Using a preparation that produces a physiological stroke volume at physiological input pressures, it was found that ANF, atriopeptin I and atriopeptin III exerted both negative chronotropic and inotropic effects. In contrast, cardiodilatin produced a positive inotropic effect. A dose-response curve of ANF is reported, showing a threshold concentration of about 10(-12) M. The pharmacological and physiological implications of these results are discussed in relation to some characteristics of the cephalopod systemic heart.
