Abstract

The maintenance of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability has been recognized as an important component of myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of using two NO-donating compounds in cardioplegia and reperfusion: (i) a modified peptide apelin-12 (MA12) that activates endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and (ii) dinitrosyl iron complexes with reduced glutathione (DNIC-GS), a natural NO vehicle. Isolated perfused working rat hearts were subjected to normothermic global ischemia and reperfusion. St. Thomas' Hospital cardioplegic solution (STH) containing 140 μM MA12 or 100 μM DNIC-GS was used. In separate series, 140 μM MA12 or 100 μM DNIC-GS was administered at early reperfusion. Metabolic state of the hearts was evaluated by myocardial content of high-energy phosphates and lactate. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in myocardial effluent was used as an index of cell membrane damage. Cardioplegia with MA12 or DNIC-GS improved recovery of coronary flow and cardiac function, and reduced LDH leakage in perfusate compared with STH without additives. Cardioplegic arrest with MA12 significantly enhanced preservation of high-energy phosphates and decreased accumulation of lactate in repe...Continue Reading
