Abstract
Until now, the molecular mechanisms underlining sperm motility defect causing male infertility are still poorly understood. Safe and effective compounds or drugs that can improve sperm motility are also very limited. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a naturally occurring phospholipid and a bioactive intermediate with multiple biological activities. It has been detected in various body fluids such as serum, plasma, saliva, tears, blister fluids, hen egg white, and ascites from patients with ovarian cancer. LPA is also abundant in seminal plasma and follicular fluid. It enhances follicle stimulation, improves oocyte fertilization, and promotes early embryonic development and embryo implantation. However, the physiological role of LPA in the male reproductive system remains unknown. Here, our study showed that LPA significantly improved the motility parameters of human sperm hyperactivation in a dose-dependent manner. The LPA-induced elevation of sperm motility is dependent on bovine serum albumin (BSA) but independent of the classical BSA-induced sAC/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. The enhancement of sperm motility by LPA could not be blocked by CCCP, a respiratory inhibitor suppressing mitochondrial ATP production. Moreover, LPA improved the activity of triosephosphate isomerase in glycolysis. Meanwhile, LPA treatment significantly increased ATP and phosphoenolpyruvate levels and decreased ADP content during sperm glycolysis. Notably, none of known or identified LPA receptors was detected in human sperm. Further investigations showed that LPA promoted sperm motility through L-type calcium channels. In summary, this study revealed the involvement of LPA in the regulation for human sperm motility by enhancing glycolysis and activating L-type calcium channels. The current findings may shed new light on the understanding of causes of asthenozoospermia, and indicate that LPA could be used as a novel therapeutic agent to improve sperm function and fertilizing capacity.

Interrelationship Between Contractility, Protein Synthesis and Metabolism in Mantle of Juvenile Cuttlefish ( Sepia officinalis). Front Physiol 2019; 10:1051. [PMID: 31507433 PMCID: PMC6716058 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.01051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Young juvenile cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) can grow at rates as high as 12% body weight per day. How the metabolic demands of such a massive growth rate impacts muscle performance that competes for ATP is unknown. Here, we integrate aspects of contractility, protein synthesis, and energy metabolism in mantle of specimens weighing 1.1 g to lend insight into the processes. Isolated mantle muscle preparations were electrically stimulated and isometric force development monitored. Preparations were forced to contract at 3 Hz for 30 s to simulate a jetting event. We then measured oxygen consumption, glucose uptake and protein synthesis in the hour following the stimulation. Protein synthesis was inhibited with cycloheximide and glycolysis was inhibited with iodoacetic acid in a subset of samples. Inhibition of protein synthesis impaired contractility and decreased oxygen consumption. An intact protein synthesis is required to maintain contractility possibly due to rapidly turning over proteins. At least, 41% of whole animal ṀO2 is used to support protein synthesis in mantle, while the cost of protein synthesis (50 μmol O2 mg protein–1) in mantle was in the range reported for other aquatic ectotherms. A single jetting challenge stimulated protein synthesis by approximately 25% (2.51–3.12% day–1) over a 1 h post contractile period, a similar response to that which occurs in mammalian skeletal muscle. Aerobic metabolism was not supported by extracellular glucose leading to the contention that at this life stage either glycogen or amino acids are catabolized. Regardless, an intact glycolysis is required to support contractile performance and protein synthesis in resting muscle. It is proposed that glycolysis is needed to maintain intracellular ionic gradients. Intracellular glucose at approximately 3 mmol L–1 was higher than the 1 mmol L–1 glucose in the bathing medium suggesting an active glucose transport mechanism. Octopine did not accumulate during a single physiologically relevant jetting challenge; however, octopine accumulation increased following a stress that is sufficient to lower Arg-P and increase free arginine.

Abstract
Metabolic stress evoked by myocardial ischemia leads to impairment of cardiac excitation and contractility. We studied the mechanisms by which metabolic inhibition affects the activity of L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) in frog ventricular myocytes. Metabolic inhibition induced by the protonophore FCCP (as well as by 2,4- dinitrophenol, sodium azide or antimycin A) resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of LTCC current (ICa,L) which was more pronounced during β-adrenergic stimulation with isoprenaline. ICa,L was still reduced by metabolic inhibition even in the presence of 3 mM intracellular ATP, or when the cell was dialysed with cAMP or ATP-γ-S to induce irreversible thiophosphorylation of LTCCs, indicating that reduction in ICa,L is not due to ATP depletion and/or reduced phosphorylation of the channels. However, the effect of metabolic inhibition on ICa,L was strongly attenuated when the mitochondrial F1F0-ATP-synthase was blocked by oligomycin or when the cells were dialysed with the non-hydrolysable ATP analogue AMP-PCP. Moreover, increasing the intracellular pH buffering capacity or intracellular dialysis of the myocytes with an alkaline solution strongly attenuated the inhibitory effect of FCCP on ICa,L. Thus, our data demonstrate that metabolic inhibition leads to excessive ATP hydrolysis by the mitochondrial F1F0-ATP-synthase operating in the reverse mode and this results in intracellular acidosis causing the suppression of ICa,L. Limiting ATP break-down by F1F0-ATP-synthase and the consecutive development of intracellular acidosis might thus represent a potential therapeutic approach for maintaining a normal cardiac function during ischemia.

Atrial Fibrillation Activates AMP-Dependent Protein Kinase and its Regulation of Cellular Calcium Handling: Potential Role in Metabolic Adaptation and Prevention of Progression. J Am Coll Cardiol 2015; 66:47-58.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with metabolic stress, which activates adenosine monophosphate-regulated protein kinase (AMPK). OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine AMPK response to AF and associated metabolic stress, along with consequences for atrial cardiomyocyte Ca(2+) handling. METHODS Calcium ion (Ca(2+)) transients (CaTs) and cell shortening (CS) were measured in dog and human atrial cardiomyocytes. AMPK phosphorylation and AMPK association with Ca(2+)-handling proteins were evaluated by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. RESULTS CaT amplitude and CS decreased at 4-min glycolysis inhibition (GI) but returned to baseline at 8 min, suggesting cellular adaptation to metabolic stress, potentially due to AMPK activation. GI increased AMPK-activating phosphorylation, and an AMPK inhibitor, compound C (CompC), abolished the adaptation of CaT and CS to GI. The AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) increased CaT amplitude and CS, restoring CompC-induced CaT and CS decreases. CompC decreased L-type calcium channel current (ICa,L), along with ICa,L-triggered CaT amplitude and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) content under voltage clamp conditions in dog cells and suppressed CaT and ICa,L in human cardiomyocytes. Small interfering ribonucleic acid-based AMPK knockdown decreased CaT amplitude in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. L-type Ca(2+) channel α subunits coimmunoprecipitated with AMPKα. Atrial AMPK-activating phosphorylation was enhanced by 1 week of electrically maintained AF in dogs; fractional AMPK phosphorylation was increased in paroxysmal AF and reduced in longstanding persistent AF patients. CONCLUSIONS AMPK is activated by metabolic stress and AF, and helps maintain the intactness of atrial ICa,L, Ca(2+) handling, and cell contractility. AMPK contributes to the atrial compensatory response to AF-related metabolic stress; AF-related metabolic responses may be an interesting new therapeutic target.

Abstract
In this study, we attempted to elucidate whether the effects of ethanol extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves (GBE) observed previously on isolated rat heart mitochondria may be realized in situ (in case of isolated heart perfused under normal conditions and under ischemia-reperfusion). We found that GBE at low concentrations (0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 μL/mL) does not affect the heart rate and parameters of electrocardiogram (ECG) but produces a small increase in the coronary flow. Higher concentration of GBE (0.2 and 0.3 μL/mL) diminished the heart rate, decreased the coronary flow, and tended to enhance the parameters of ECG. The contractility of isolated rat heart and mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced form fluorescence decreased in a GBE concentration-dependent manner. Mitochondria isolated from hearts pre-perfused with GBE (0.05 μL/mL) for 20 minutes before nonflow global ischemia-reperfusion (45 min/15 min) showed higher respiratory rates with pyruvate + malate in state 2 and state 3, higher respiratory control index, and diminished H₂O₂ generation compared with untreated group. Higher GBE concentration, 0.4 μL/mL, had no effect on H2O2 generation and did not prevent the ischemia-reperfusion-induced decrease of pyruvate + malate oxidation in state 3 but even enhanced it. However, in the case of nonischemic perfusions, this GBE concentration had no significant effect on these parameters of respiratory functions of isolated heart mitochondria.

Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmias can cause sudden cardiac death (SCD) and add to the current heart failure (HF) health crisis. Nevertheless, the pathological processes underlying arrhythmias are unclear. Arrhythmic conditions are associated with systemic and cardiac oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). In excitable cardiac cells, ROS regulate both cellular metabolism and ion homeostasis. Increasing evidence suggests that elevated cellular ROS can cause alterations of the cardiac sodium channel (Na(v)1.5), abnormal Ca(2+) handling, changes of mitochondrial function, and gap junction remodeling, leading to arrhythmogenesis. This review summarizes our knowledge of the mechanisms by which ROS may cause arrhythmias and discusses potential therapeutic strategies to prevent arrhythmias by targeting ROS and its consequences. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Local Signaling in Myocytes".

Abstract
1. Inhibition of creatine kinase is known to suppress cardiac contractile reserve in intact hearts, although the underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. 2. The present study was designed to examine whether cardiac depression induced by creatine kinase inhibition was due to action at the level of the essential contractile element, namely cardiomyocytes. Adult rat cardiomyocytes were perfused with the creatine kinase inhibitor iodoacetamide (90 micromol/L) for 90 min. Mechanical and intracellular Ca(2+) properties were evaluated using edge-detection and fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Myocytes were superfused with normal (1.3 mmol/L) or high (3.3 mmol/L) extracellular Ca(2+) contractile buffer. Mechanical function was examined, including peak shortening (PS), maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening (+/-dL/dt), time to 90% PS (TPS(90)), time to 90% relengthening (TR(90)) and integration of shortening/relengthening (normalized to PS). Intracellular Ca(2+) transients were evaluated using the following indices: resting and rise of fura-2 fluorescence intensity (Delta FFI) and intracellular Ca(2+) decay time constant. 3. The results indicate that elevated extracellular Ca(2+) stimulated cardiomyocyte positive inotrope, manifested as increased PS, +/-dL/dt, area of shortening, resting FFI and Delta FFI associated with a shortened TR(90) and intracellular Ca(2+) decay time constant. High extracellular Ca(2+) did not affect TPS(90) and area of relengthening. Iodoacetamide ablated high Ca(2+)-induced increases in PS, +/-dL/dt, area of shortening, resting FFI, Delta FFI and shortened TR(90) and intracellular Ca(2+) decay time constant. Iodoacetamide itself significantly enhanced the area of relengthening and TR(90) without affecting other indices. 4. Collectively, these data demonstrate that inhibition of creatine kinase blunts high extracellular Ca(2+)-induced increases in cardiomyocyte contractile response (i.e. cardiac contractile reserve).

Abstract
The heterogeneity across the left ventricular wall is characterized by higher rates of oxygen consumption, systolic thickening fraction, myocardial perfusion, and lower energetic state in the subendocardial layers (ENDO). During dobutamine stimulation-induced demand ischemia, the transmural distribution of energy demand and metabolic markers of ischemia are not known. In this study, hemodynamics, transmural high-energy phosphate (HEP), 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate (2-DGP) levels, and myocardial blood flow (MBF) were determined under basal conditions, during dobutamine infusion (DOB: 20 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1) iv), and during coronary stenosis + DOB + 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) infusion. DOB increased rate pressure products (RPP) and MBF significantly without affecting the subendocardial-to-subepicardial blood flow ratio (ENDO/EPI) or HEP levels. During coronary stenosis + DOB + 2-DG infusion, RPP, ischemic zone (IZ) MBF, and ENDO/EPI decreased significantly. The IZ ratio of creatine phosphate-to-ATP decreased significantly [2.30 +/- 0.14, 2.06 +/- 0.13, and 2.04 +/- 0.11 to 1.77 +/- 0.12, 1.70 +/- 0.11, and 1.72 +/- 0.12 for EPI, midmyocardial (MID), and ENDO, respectively], and 2-DGP accumulated in all layers, as evidenced by the 2-DGP/PCr (0.55 +/- 0.12, 0.52 +/- 0.10, and 0.37 +/- 0.08 for EPI, MID, and ENDO, respectively; P < 0.05, EPI > ENDO). In the IZ the wet weight-to-dry weight ratio was significantly increased compared with the normal zone (5.9 +/- 0.5 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.4; P < 0.05). Thus, in the stenotic perfused bed, during dobutamine-induced high cardiac work state, despite higher blood flow, the subepicardial layers showed the greater metabolic changes characterized by a shift toward higher carbohydrate metabolism, suggesting that a homeostatic response to high-cardiac work state is characterized by more glucose utilization in energy metabolism.

Abstract
The role of glycolytically generated ATP in Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII)-mediated regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling was examined in cultured calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells. Exposure of cells (extracellular Ca(2+) concentration = 2 mM) to glycolytic inhibitors 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), pyruvate (pyr) + beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB), or iodoacetic acid (IAA) caused an increase of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). CaMKII inhibitors (KN-93, W-7) triggered a similar increase of [Ca(2+)](i). The rise of [Ca(2+)](i) was characterized by a transient spike followed by a small sustained plateau of elevated [Ca(2+)](i). In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) 2-DG caused an increase in [Ca(2+)](i), suggesting that inhibition of glycolysis directly triggered release of Ca(2+) from intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) stores. The inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate abolished the KN-93- and 2-DG-induced Ca(2+) response. Ca(2+) release was initiated in peripheral cytoplasmic processes from which activation propagated as a [Ca(2+)](i) wave toward the central region of the cell. Focal application of 2-DG resulted in spatially confined elevations of [Ca(2+)](i). Propagating [Ca(2+)](i) waves were preceded by [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations and small, highly localized elevations of [Ca(2+)](i) (Ca(2+) puffs). Inhibition of glycolysis with 2-DG reduced the KN-93-induced Ca(2+) response, and vice versa during inhibition of CaMKII 2-DG-induced Ca(2+) release was attenuated. Similar results were obtained with pyr + beta-HB and W-7. Furthermore, 2-DG and IAA caused a rapid increase of intracellular Mg(2+) concentration, indicating a concomitant drop of cellular ATP levels. In conclusion, CaMKII exerts a profound inhibition of ER Ca(2+) release in CPAE cells, which is mediated by glycolytically generated ATP, possibly through ATP-dependent phosphorylation of the IP(3)R.

Abstract
The regulation of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel activity is complex and a multitude of factors determine their open probability. Physiologically and pathophysiologically, the most important of these are intracellular nucleotides, with a long-recognized role for glycolytically derived ATP in regulating channel activity. To identify novel regulatory subunits of the K(ATP) channel complex, we performed a two-hybrid protein-protein interaction screen, using as bait the mouse Kir6.2 C terminus. Screening a rat heart cDNA library, we identified two potential interacting proteins to be the glycolytic enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and triose-phosphate isomerase. The veracity of interaction was verified by co-immunoprecipitation techniques in transfected mammalian cells. We additionally demonstrated that pyruvate kinase also interacts with Kir6.2 subunits. The physiological relevance of these interactions is illustrated by the demonstration that native Kir6.2 protein similarly interact with GAPDH and pyruvate kinase in rat heart membrane fractions and that Kir6.2 protein co-localize with these glycolytic enzymes in rat ventricular myocytes. The functional relevance of our findings is demonstrated by the ability of GAPDH or pyruvate kinase substrates to directly block the K(ATP) channel under patch clamp recording conditions. Taken together, our data provide direct evidence for the concept that key enzymes involved in glycolytic ATP production are part of a multisubunit K(ATP) channel protein complex. Our data are consistent with the concept that the activity of these enzymes (possibly by ATP formation in the immediate intracellular microenvironment of this macromolecular K(ATP) channel complex) causes channel closure.

Abstract
Metabolic inhibition (MI) contributes to contractile failure during cardiac ischemia and systolic heart failure, in part due to decreased excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling gain. To investigate the underlying mechanism, we studied subcellular Ca2+ release patterns in whole cell patch clamped rat ventricular myocytes using two-dimensional high-speed laser scanning confocal microscopy. In cells loaded with the Ca2+ buffer EGTA (5 mmol/L) and the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator fluo-3 (1 mmol/L), depolarization from -40 to 0 mV elicited a striped pattern of Ca2+ release. This pattern represents the simultaneous activation of multiple Ca2+ release sites along transverse-tubules. During inhibition of both oxidative and glycolytic metabolism using carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP, 50 nmol/L) and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG, 10 mmol/L), there was a decrease in inward Ca2+ current (ICa), the spatially averaged Ca2+ transient, and E-C coupling gain, but no reduction in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content. The striped pattern of subcellular Ca2+ release became fractured, or disappeared altogether, corresponding to a marked decrease in the area of the cell exhibiting organized Ca2+ release. There was no significant change in the intensity or kinetics of local Ca2+ release. The mechanism is not fully explained by dephosphorylation of L-type Ca2+ channels, because a similar degree of ICa"rundown" in control cells did NOT result in fracturing of the Ca2+ release pattern. We conclude that metabolic inhibition interferes with E-C coupling by (1) reducing trigger Ca2+, and (2) directly inhibiting sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release site open probability.

Abstract
In cardiac myocytes, glycolysis and excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling are functionally coupled. We studied the effects of inhibitors (2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), iodoacetate (IAA)), intermediates (glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), fructose-6-phosphate (F6P), fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)) and products (pyruvate, L-lactate) of glycolysis on sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release and uptake in intact and permeabilized cat atrial myocytes. In field-stimulated (0.5-0.7 Hz) intact myocytes, 2-DG (10 mm) and IAA (1 mm) caused elevation of diastolic [Ca(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](i) transient alternans (Ca(2+) alternans) followed by a decrease of the amplitude of the [Ca(2+)](i) transient. Focal application of 2-DG resulted in local Ca(2+) alternans that was confined to the region of exposure. 2-DG and IAA slowed the decay kinetics of the [Ca(2+)](i) transient and delayed its recovery (positive staircase) after complete SR depletion, suggesting impaired activity of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA). 2-DG and IAA reduced the rate of reuptake of Ca(2+) into the SR which was accompanied by a 15-20% decrease of SR Ca(2+) load. Major changes of mitochondrial redox state (measured as FAD autofluorescence) were not observed after inhibition of glycolysis. Pyruvate (10 mm) and L-lactate (10 mm) elicited similar changes of the [Ca(2+)](i) transient. Pyruvate, L-lactate and IAA - but not 2-DG - induced intracellular acidosis. Recording of single channel activity of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) incorporated into lipid bilayers revealed complex modulation by glycolytic intermediates and products (1 mm each): some were without effect (G6P, PEP, L-lactate) while others either increased (F6P, +40%; FBP, +265%) or decreased (pyruvate, -58%) the open probability of the RyR. Consistent with these findings, spontaneous SR Ca(2+) release (Ca(2+) sparks) in permeabilized myocytes was facilitated by FBP and inhibited by pyruvate. The results indicate that in atrial myocytes glycolysis regulates Ca(2+) release from the SR by multiple mechanisms including direct modulation of RyR activity by intermediates and products of glycolysis and modulation of SERCA activity through local changes of glycolytically derived ATP.

Abstract
Regulation of L-type Ca2+ channels is complex, because many factors, such as phosphorylation, divalent cations, and proteins, specified or unspecified, have been shown to affect the channel activities. An additional complication is that these factors interact with one another to achieve final outcomes. Recent molecular technologies have helped to shed light on the mechanisms governing the activity of L-type Ca2+ channels. In this review article, three major topics concerning regulation of L-type Ca2+ channels in the heart are discussed, i.e. c-AMP dependent channel phosphorylation, role of magnesium (Mg2+), and the phenomenon of channel run-down.

Abstract
We investigated the possible sources of intracellular ATP which was previously shown essential for maintaining the muscarinic cationic channel activities (or currents; I(cat)) in guinea-pig ileal myocytes, using two variants of patch clamp techniques. Deprivation of external glucose or its replacement with 2-deoxyglucose significantly reduced the magnitude of I(cat), recorded with nystatin-perforated method, with greater efficacy than for voltage-dependent Ca2+ current Intracellular dialysis of ileal myocytes with key substrates for glycolysis, oxidative metabolism and creatine-phosphocreatine system all resulted in a comparably effective maintenance of I(cat), which was abolished by inhibitors for these ATP-producing systems, 3-bromopyruvate, cyanide and 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), respectively. However, amongst these inhibitors, only 3-bromopyruvate effectively reduced I(cat) recorded with the nystatin-perforated method. These results strongly suggest the exclusive physiological importance of glycolytic ATP production in maintaining I(cat), activity, and thus this mechanism may play a role in the regulation of gut motility.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia both can cause prolongation of the Q-T interval and ventricular arrhythmias. Here we studied modulation of human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) K(+) channel, the major molecular component of delayed rectifier K(+) current responsible for cardiac repolarization, by glucose in HEK293 cells using whole-cell patch clamp techniques. We found that both hyperglycemia (extracellular glucose concentration [Glu](o) = 10 or 20 mm) and hypoglycemia ([Glu](o) = 2.5, 1, or 0 mm) impaired HERG function by reducing HERG current (I(HERG)) density, as compared with normoglycemia ([Glu](o) = 5 mm). Complete inhibition of glucose metabolism (glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation) by 2-deoxy-d-glucose mimicked the effects of hypoglycemia, but inhibition of glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation alone did not cause I(HERG) depression. Depletion of intracellular ATP mimicked the effects of hypoglycemia, and replacement of ATP by GTP or non-hydrolysable ATP failed to prevent the effects. Inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation by NaCN or application of antioxidants vitamin E or superoxide dismutase mimetic (Mn(III) tetrakis(4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride) abrogated and incubation with xanthine/xanthine oxidase mimicked the effects of hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia or xanthine/xanthine oxidase markedly increased intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species, as measured by 5-(and-6)-chloromethyl-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (CM-H(2)DCFDA) fluorescence dye, and this increase was prevented by NaCN, vitamin E, or Mn(III) tetrakis(4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride. We conclude that ATP, derived from either glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation, is critical for normal HERG function; depression of I(HERG) in hypoglycemia results from underproduction of ATP and in hyperglycemia from overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Impairment of HERG function might contribute to Q-T prolongation caused by hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
