Popis: To study the roles of platelet-activating factor, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and oxygen free radicals in myocardial reperfusion injury, we subjected 10 sheep to 90 minutes of mid-left anterior descending coronary artery followed by 6 hours of reperfusion. Stainings with gentian violet and tetratriphenyl ammonium chloride demonstrated 20% ± 3% of the left ventricular mass at risk for ischemia, of which 75% ± 10% underwent infarction. Coronary sinus blood was assayed for platelet-activating factor and neutrophil hydrogen peroxide production before and during coronary occlusion and during reperfusion. Platelet-activating factor was isolated by column chromatography and lipid extraction and quantified by radioimmunoassay. Neutrophil hydrogen peroxide production was measured by a 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein flow-cytometric assay. Platelet-activating factor was elevated to 899 ± 210 pg/ml at 15 minutes of reperfusion, compared with the preocclusion level of 271 ± 55 pg/ml and coronary occlusion level of 359 ± 64 pg/ml (p
