Preconditioning by brief ischaemic episodes in the isolated rat heart assessed by31P NMR spectroscopy: dissociation between metabolic and functional recovery?

Abstract: 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate whether improved functional recovery in ischaemic preconditioning was due to improved metabolic recovery in isolated rat hearts. The preconditioning stimulus was global ischaemia of 1 or 4 min followed by 12 min of reperfusion (Langendorff mode). The hearts were then subjected to a main ischaemic period of 16 min and 40 min of reperfusion. Functional and metabolic recoveries of hearts were compared to a control group subjected only to the main ischaemia. Preconditio… Show more

“…Interestingly, reperfusion function is enhanced by preconditioning, and this is consistent with the enhanced recovery of ATP during reperfusion. Previous studies have shown no improvement of reperfusion ATP repletion or an enhanced repletion in preconditioned hearts (3,24,26,27). It is difficult to understand how reperfusion function can be enhanced with poor ATP repletion, unless the ATP is somehow more accessible or is being used more efficiently.…”

“…Therefore, it is difficult to reconcile the results of Asimakis et al with the findings of Vuorinen et al (27), in which significant inhibition of the mitochondrial hydrolase by preconditioning caused ATP conservation in isolated rat hearts. Schjott et al (24) found preconditioning to decrease the time to contracture, despite ATP conservation, suggesting that ATP levels may not be the only mediator of contracture.…”

“…ATP and phosphocreatine (Pcr), measured in the ischemic myocardium before reflow, and the functional postischemic recovery. This link appears non-existent in some studies [1][2][3][4]. In contrast, a causal relationship emerged in other models, where the ischemic level of high-energy phosphates was altered either by changing the length of ischemia [5,6], or by replenishing hearts with diffusable substrates [7][8][9].…”
