Open Access Abstract Introduction Frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation FDAR ensures appropriate ventricular filling at high heart rates and results from accelerated sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase SERCA activity independent of calcium removal from the cell. Because lipopolysaccharide LPS challenge may induce aberrations in calcium trafficking and protein phosphorylation we tested whether LPS would abolish FDAR in rats. Methods Following LPS injection changes in force-frequency relationship and FDAR were studied in cardiomyocytes isolated hearts and in vivo by echocardiography. Calcium uptake and phosphatase activities were studied in sarcoplasmic reticulum SR vesicle preparations. Western blots of phospholamban and calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and serine threonine phosphatase activity .
