Previous studies have shown that exogenous lactate impairs mechanical function of reperfused ischaemic hearts, while pyruvate improves post-ischaemic recovery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the diverging influence of exogenous lactate and pyruvate on functional recovery can be explained by an effect of the exogenous substrates on endogenous protecting mechanisms against oxygen-derived free radicals. Isolated working rat hearts were perfused by a Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer containing glucose (5 mM) as basal substrate and either lactate (5 mM) or pyruvate (5 mM) as cosubstrate. In hearts perfused with glucose as sole substrate the activity of glutathione reductase was decreased by 32% during 30 min of ischaemia (p < 0.10 versus control value), while the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase was reduced by 27 and 35%, respectively, during 5 min of reperfusion (p < 0.10 versus control value). The GSH level in the glucose group was reduced by 29% following 30 min of ischaemia and 35 min of reperfusion (p < 0.10). In lactate- and pyruvateperfused hearts there were no significant decreases of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activity during 30 min of ischaemia, 5 min of reperfusion or 35 min of reperfusion. In pyruvate-perfused hearts the glutathione peroxidase activity was even increased by 43% during 30 min of ischaemia (p < 0.05). Glutathione levels (reduced and oxidized) did not markedly change in the lactate and pyruvate groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
