| Popis: | Contraction band necrosis (CBN) may represent infarct extension from free radical generation during reperfusion. We sought to limit CBN with the free radical scavenger N-2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (MPG, 20 mg/kg). Sixteen chronically instrumented Beagles (8 control, and 8 MPG treated) underwent 90-min left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion followed by 6-h reperfusion. Coronary blood flow (CBF) was measured by the radioactive microsphere technique. The dogs were killed, and the hearts were perfused with red and blue dyes to determine area at risk (AAR), stained with nitroblue tetrazolium for infarct localization, and sectioned for histologic analysis and BF measurements. In controls and MPG-treated animals, infarct/risk ratios were 40 +/- 5 and 38 +/- 6%, and epicardial collateral BFs were 0.21 +/- 0.037 and 0.15 +/- 0.034 ml/g/min, respectively (p = NS). Hemodynamic measurements did not differ between the two groups. However, CBN as a percentage of total infarct was reduced in controls (22 +/- 3%) as compared with MPG-treated animals (35 +/- 2%, p = 0.002). Thus, MPG altered the histologic composition of infarcts in this model, surprisingly increasing the amount of CBN without altering overall infarct size (IS). These results raise questions about the role of free radical scavengers in generation of CBN and suggest that a population of cells exists in which treatment with MPG may alter the mechanism of cell death. |
