MethodTwenty-four chickens were randomly divided into three groups (n=8), control group, low temperature group and imidapril group. Chickens in low temperature group and imidapril group were exposed to low ambient temperature (12-18 ℃) from age at 14 d to 45 d, whereas the control group was exposed to 24-30 ℃; chickens in imidapril group were gavaged with imidapril (3 mg/kg) once daily for 30 d. At age of 45 d, blood was taken from wing vein and blood gas parameters were evaluated by blood gas analyzer in Luoyang Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. ResultImidapril significantly increased hematocrit (HCT) and total hemoglobin content (T HBC ) and blood Na concentration in broiler chickens exposed to low ambient temperature. No significant differences were observed in pH, P CO 2 , P O 2 , K + , Ca 2+ , HCO 3-, HCO 3std , T CO 2 , BE and SO 2c . ConclusionImidapril increases hematocrit, total hemoglobin content and blood Na + concentration in chickens exposed to low ambient temperature.展开更多

Methods Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: IMI-treated, hypertrophic and sham-operated control groups. Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in hypertrophy group by partial ligation of the abdominal aorta. In the IMI-treated group, the rabbits were administered IMI (1.5 mg·kg -1·d -1) for 8 weeks after surgery. In the sham-operated control group, the animals underwent an abdominal laparotomy without further procedure. Whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record ionic currents. Results Membrane capacitance was larger in hypertrophic cells than in sham-operated cells or IMI-treated cells. Action potential duration was lengthened in hypertrophic cells and was remarkably shortened by IMI. The density of I Ca,L was reduced from 12.8±0.7 pA/pF in the sham-operated cells, to 7.7±0.8 pA/pF in hypertrophic cells, while it resembled the control cells after IMI treatment (11.9±1.0 pA/pF). After IMI treatment, the density of I Ks,tail was enhanced from 2.5±0.1 pA/pF in hypertrophic cells to 4.7±0.6 pA/pF (n=7, P<0.01), which was similar to the sham-operated cells. The densities of I to and I K1 were significantly increased in IMI-treated cells, from 3.8±0.4 pA/pF and 3.7±0.5 pA/pF in the hypertrophic cells to 6.4±0.8 pA/pF and 6.5±0.3 pA/pF, respectively, but the I Kr densities were not different in the three groups. Conclusion IMI could reverse the increase in membrane capacitance in hypertrophic cells, shorten action potential duration, and increase the densities of I Ca, L, I Ks, I to and I K1 in hypertrophic cells.展开更多
