<h4>Aim</h4>The aim of the present study was to define whether cardiac myosin contributes to energy conservation in the heart of hibernating mammals.<h4>Methods</h4>Thin cardiac strips were isolated from the left ventricles of active and hibernating grizzly bears; and subjected to loaded Mant-ATP chase assays, X-ray diffraction and proteomics.<h4>Main findings</h4>Hibernating grizzly bears displayed an unusually high proportion of ATP-conserving super-relaxed cardiac myosin molecules that are li ...[more]
