Sentence examples for lengthened action from inspiring English sources
In rabbit heart preparations, we have demonstrated that risperidone markedly lengthened action potential duration and blocked the delayed rectifier current, IKr.
Our findings indicate that the depression of the H-reflex amplitude during eccentric compared to concentric MVC depends mainly on the amount of inhibition induced by lengthening action.
Quercetin prolonged the presynaptic repolarization phase of the action potential, thereby lengthening action potential duration and rendering the neuron incapable of rapid and repetitive firing.
Regardless of the muscle, Hmax/Mmax was lower during lengthening than shortening actions and the Hsup/Msup ratio was higher than Hmax/Mmax during lengthening actions.
β-blockade lengthens the action potential, thereby reducing ventricular ectopy and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia even in patients with severe heart failure (Aronson et al 2002).
By lengthening the action potential, reducing the incidence of ventricular ectopy, reducing ischemia and improving left ventricular function, β-blockers lead to a significant reduction in sudden death (Brodine et al 2005).
While these muscles were not subjected to the forces that occurring during eccentric (lengthening) actions, there is evidence to suggest that restricted blood flow to a working muscle may cause DOMS in that muscle [ 51].
The refit was lengthened by industrial action at the dockyard.
Amiodarone, introduced originally as an anti-anginal agent but nowadays used as a very potent antiarrhytmic drug, lowers heart rate, lengthens the cardiac action potential (manifest as a longer QTc interval on the EKG), and depresses myocardial oxygen consumption [ 2].
The duration of action can be lengthened by either mixing natural insulin with other materials to delay its release or modifying the insulin molecule so it works more slowly.
The finding that epicardial QTc values were similar in all animals indicates that mechanisms other than lengthening of action potential duration (APD) were responsible for the longer ERP in GF treated rats.
