چکیده

BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock (HS) results in myocardial contractile dysfunction. Studies showed that 17β-estradiol protects the myocardium against contractile dysfunction. The study investigated the cardioprotective effects of treatment with 17β-estradiol before resuscitation following 1 h of HS and resuscitation. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to 2 sets of experimental protocols: Ex vivo and in vivo treatment and resuscitation. Each set had three experimental groups (n = 6 per group): Normotensive (N), HS and resuscitation (HS-R) and HS rats treated with 17β-estradiol (E) and resuscitated (HS-E-R). Rats were hemorrhaged over 60-min to reach a mean arterial blood pressure of 40 mmHg. In the ex vivo group, hearts were resuscitated by perfusion in the Langendorff system. In the 17β-estradiol treated group, 17β-estradiol 280 µg/kg was added for thefirst 5 min. Cardiac function was measured. Left ventricular generated pressure (LVGP) and +dP/dt were calculated. In the in vivo group, rats were treated with 17β-estradiol 280 µg/kg s.c. after 60-min HS. Resuscitation was performed in vivo by the reinfusion of the shed blood for 30-min to restore normotension. RESULTS Treatment with 17β-estradiol before resuscitation in ex vivo treated and resuscitated isolated hearts and in the in vivo treated and resuscitated rats following HS improved myocardial contractile function. In the in vivo treated group, LVGP and +dP/dt max were significantly higher in 17β-estradiol treated rats compared to the untreated group (LVGP 136.40 ± 6.61 compared to 47.58 ± 17.55, and +dP/dt 661.85 ± 49.88 compared to 88.18 ± 0.85). Treatment with 17β-estradiol improved LVGP following HS. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that treatment with 17β-estradiol before resuscitation following HS protects the myocardium against dysfunction.

Preservation of myocardial contractile function by aminoguanidine, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock

BACKGROUND Myocardial contractile dysfunction plays a major role in the outcome of trauma patients. Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to increase following haemorrhagic shock. Peroxynitrite which is produced by the reaction of NO with reactive oxygen species leads to nitrosative stress mediated organ injury and myocardial contractile dysfunction. Aminoguanidine is a selective inhibitor of induci...

Effects of Adenosine on the Organ Injury and Dysfunction Caused by Hemorrhagic Shock

Objectives: Adenosine has been shown in animal and human studies to decrease the post-ischemic myocardial injury by lowering the levels of tumor necrosis factor-a. The objectives of the study was to examine the protective effects of adenosine on the organ injury (liver, kidney, pancreas) associated with hemorrhagic shock in rats. Methodology: The study was conducted at Cardiovascular Physiology...

Mechanism of salutary effects of estradiol on organ function after trauma-hemorrhage: upregulation of heme oxygenase.

A growing body of evidence indicates that heme degradation products may counteract the deleterious consequences of hypoxia and/or ischemia-reperfusion injury. Because heme oxygenase (HO)-1 induction after adverse circulatory conditions is known to be protective, and because females in the proestrus cycle (with high estrogen) have better hepatic function and less hepatic damage than males after ...

Effects of β-Estradiol on Enhanced Conditioned Fear Induced by Single Prolonged Stress and Shock in Rats

Introduction:This study examined the effects of administration of subcutaneous β-estradiol on PTSD-like symptoms (the enhanced conditioned fear response, CFR) that induced by a single-prolonged stress (SPS) and shock in rats. Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to SPS procedure: restraint for 2 h, forced swim for 20 min, and ether anesthesia. Then the rats were placed in fear conditioning syste...

Role of p38 MAPK pathway in 17β-estradiol-mediated attenuation of hemorrhagic shock-induced hepatic injury.

Although 17β-estradiol (E2) treatment following hemorrhagic shock or ischemic reperfusion prevents organs from dysfunction and injury, the precise mechanism remains unknown. We hypothesize that the E2-mediated attenuation of liver injury following hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation occurs via the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent heme oxygenase (HO)-1 pathway. After a...
