Effects of change in temperature on the cardiac contractility of broad‐snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) during digestion

Abstract: In many reptiles, digestion has been associated with the selection of higher body temperatures, the so‐called post‐prandial thermophilic response. This study aimed to investigate the excitation–contraction (E–C) coupling in postprandial broad‐snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris) in response to acute warming within a preferred body temperature range of crocodiles. Isometric preparations subjected to a temperature transition from 25°C to 30°C were used to investigate myocardial contractility of postprandial caim… Show more
