Protons inhibit Ca2+ current and contraction in heart muscle. The present study compares the effects of lowering the pH of the bath solution on single-cell contraction, action potential configuration and Ca2+ currents between neonatal and adult rabbit hearts. We found that a reduction of extracellular pH from 7.3 to 6.3 decreased cell contraction amplitude to 84.3% of control in isolated neonatal myocytes. A comparable change in extracellular pH resulted in a decrease in cell contraction to 56.2% of control in adult cells. Similarly, tension generation in intact neonatal papillary muscles was less sensitive to a decrease in external pH as compared to papillary muscles from adult animals, In addition, acidosis caused a less pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ current in neonatal cells than in adult cells (85 +/- 4% v 62 +/- 4% of control, pH = 6.3, P
