The results obtained are as follows. (1) Duration of action potential (APD) in normal papillary muscles were de2 creased by AGM in a concentration2dependent manner. (2) In partially depolarized papil2 lary muscles, amplitute of action potential, overshoot, maximal velocity of phase 0 depo2 larization and APD were depressed by AGM. (3) Pretreatment with N G 2nitro2L2arginine methyl ester (L2NAME, 015 mmol/ L) did not affect the above effects of AGM (1 mmol/ L) on papillary muscles. (4) The effects of AGM (1 mmol/ L) could be blocked com2 pletely by pretreatment with idazoxan (011 mmol/ L), an 2 2adrenoceptor ( 2 2AR) and imidazoline receptor ( IR) antagonist. All these results indicate that the effects of AGM on papillary muscles are likely due to a decrease of intracellular calcium mediated by 2 2AR and IR.
