Abstract
The effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus on hypoxia-induced coronary vasodilation was studied in isolated perfused rabbit hearts. Four groups of hearts were compared: control hearts from normal rabbits perfused with physiological buffer (5 mM glucose and 2 mM pyruvate added), hearts from alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits (same perfusion as control), hyperglycemic hearts from normal rabbits perfused with 22 mM glucose and 2 mM pyruvate, and hyperosmotic hearts from normal rabbits perfused with 5 mM glucose, 2 mM pyruvate, and 8.5 mM choline chloride. Hypoxia was produced by perfusion with a mixture of N2- and O2- saturated solutions. Endothelium-dependent and -independent dilators were also tested. Papaverine-induced coronary vasodilatation was unaltered, whereas that of serotonin and adenosine was significantly reduced in hyperglycemic and hyperosmotic hearts but not in diabetic hearts perfused with normoglycemic buffer. Hypoxia (PO2 from 515 +/- 86 to 131 +/- 24 mmHg; 1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa) caused a significant coronary vasodilatation in normal hearts (-66 +/- 3%). This vasodilatation was reduced slightly in diabetic (-45 +/- 7%, p < 0.05) and severely in hyperglycemic (-21 +/- 5%, p < 0.05) and hyperosmotic (-24 +/- 5%, p < 0.05) he...Continue Reading
