چکیده

Background—Current treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focuses on reestablishing blood flow (reperfusion). Paradoxically, reperfusion itself may cause additional injury to the heart. We previously found that -protein kinase C ( PKC) inhibition during simulated ischemia/reperfusion in isolated rat hearts is cardioprotective. We focus here on the role for PKC during reperfusion only, using an in vivo porcine model of AMI. Methods and Results—An intracoronary application of a selective PKC inhibitor to the heart at the time of reperfusion reduced infarct size, improved cardiac function, inhibited troponin T release, and reduced apoptosis. Using P NMR in isolated perfused mouse hearts, we found a faster recovery of ATP levels in hearts treated with the PKC inhibitor during reperfusion only. Conclusions—Reperfusion injury after cardiac ischemia is mediated, at least in part, by PKC activation. This study suggests that including a PKC inhibitor at reperfusion may improve the outcome for patients with AMI. (Circulation. 2003;108:2304-2307.)

Acute Administration of Estradiol Protects against Spinal Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury in Male Rabbits

Introduction: Postoperative neurological deficit is the most devastating complication after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Despite demonstrated neuroprotective effects of estradiol, its protective efficacy against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion and underlying mechanisms are not yet elucidated. Methods: Two groups, each of 10 New Zealand white male rabbits, were studied. Control g...

Coenzyme Q10 Protects Hippocampal Neurons against Ischemia/ Reperfusion Injury via Modulation of BAX/Bcl-2 Expression

Introduction: Preliminary studies have con.rmed reduction in cell death following treatment with antioxidants. According to this .nding we study the relationship between consumption of CoQ10 and expression of Bax and Bcl2 in hippocampus following ischemia/reperfusion as proteins involved in cell programmed death or apoptosis. Methods: We studied the protective role of CoQ10 against ischemia-rep...

The effect of asafoetida essential oil on myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts

Objective: Previous studies reported that asafetida from Ferula assa-foetida Linn. species and its essential oil (AEO) have antioxidant effects. In the present study, the effect of AEO was evaluated on ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: 1) control group, 2) vehicle group, 3-5) AEO groups and, 6) car...
