Popis: INTRODUCTION Enriching the diet with Omega-3 for several weeks improves myocardial resistance to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats. However, patients with myocardial infarction requiring an emergency reperfusion cannot be pretreated with such a diet. The objective of our study was to describe the effects of an intravenous Omega-3 bolus before reperfusion in a rat model of myocardial IR. METHODS In a rat model of acute myocardial IR, an intravenous Omega-3 bolus (EPA:DHA 6:1), associated or not with iodinated contrast media, was administered after a 30-min ischemia, before reperfusion. Hemodynamic parameters were assessed. Circulating procoagulant microparticles were phenotyped. Vascular and heart inflammation, superoxide anion, and nitric oxide were measured. Ex vivo vascular reactivity was performed with a pharmacological selective inhibitor of inductible nitric oxide synthase. Cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) plasma levels were measured. RESULTS Compared with untreated IR rats, an Omega-3 bolus before reperfusion significantly decreased the IR syndrome, improving mean arterial pressure (114 ± 9 vs. 61 ± 17 mmHg 4 h after reperfusion, P
