OC15 Faster, warmer, stronger: calcium cycling in avian myocardium
Birds independently developed endothermy and four-chambered heart working at rates compared to those or higher than that in mammalians. However, the morphology of their cardiomyocytes is close to that in reptiles. To figure out how birds have solved this contradiction between the structure and the function, we have for the first time studied the interplay between sarcolemmal calcium flux and Ca2+-dependent Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum in isolated avian cardiomyocytes. Our results have shown that Ca2+ cycling in avian myocardium strikingly differs from that in mammalians - and yet, it provides the high efficiency of the bird heart.

About me
Abimbola Adelaja is a Nigerian trained Veterinary Surgeon. He graduated from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria where he was awarded his DVM and Masters in Veterinary Physiology in 2012 and 2017 respectively. He is currently a PhD student at the Department of Veterinary Physiology at the same University. His research focuses on alleviating the harmful impact of stress in poultry chickens through developing innovative methods like diet manipulation, antioxidant supplementation, etc. He has great interest in scientific research and hopes to become a University lecturerer, philantropist and mentor to others.
I am a happy fellow that is principled, hardworking and love basic medical science research especially in the area of cardiorenal studies.
